Dear friends,
"Poverty, the oldest scourge and the modern scourge, derives in much of the world from miserable pay for long hours of work. This is unacceptable in 'poor' countries. It is a disgrace in well-off countries like New Zealand." John Pilger
There will be Public Rally in Support of Low Paid Workers Sunday 12th February at 2pm in the Auckland Town Hall. The campaign has been spearheaded by UNITE - the union representing many low paid workers but it has become clear that they will need as much support as they can get in their fight against these multinationals. Acclaimed performer Imon Star from Rhombus will be hosting the event and there will be support acts from some bands, and comedians Michelle A’Court, Jeremy Elwood and Tarun Mohanbhai. Speakers will include Green MP Sue Bradford, CTU President Ross Wilson and John Minto from GPJA. A Bill to abolish youth rates introduced By Sue will be debated in Parliament a few days later.
