Luxon Breaks Promise On Sick Leave29 July 2026Christopher Luxon has broken his promise to working Kiwis by slashing sick leave and cutting holiday entitlements. “Christopher Luxon says he doesn’t need his job, but he’s happy to make life harder for the many Kiwis who need theirs. “With these changes, almost 600,000 part-time workers will be forced to choose between going to work sick or losing pay. It will also mean Kiwis working extra hours won’t have it reflected in the leave they earn. “While National continues to attack hard working Kiwis’ rights, Labour will keep fighting to protect them,” Jan Tinetti said.
