The NZ Union movement has never confronted a dead eyed free market acolyte quite like Brooke van Velden before. The reality is that Unions are simply begging to get the little they gained back rather than push for a whole new workers rights policy platform. I have argued the Union movement needs to fight for the right to strike because that is the ONLY power that actually works! Look, if the Unions start pushing for the right to strike by citing Van Velden’s extremism as the reason, they move the Overton Window. Workers Rights are Human Rights.
