Fighting the 90 Day Fire at Will Law

-

The next planning meeting for the 90 Day Fire at Will law action is:

6pm, Thursday 15 January
Unite Union
6A Western Springs Road, Morningside

Come along, bring your friends, and your ideas. At the last meeting, we agreed to call a huge demo for Sat 28 Feb, just before the law is due to come into force, and to leaflet all of the markets around Auckland, with the giant inflatable rat to help to publicise the action and to let workers know that we'll stand with them against any rat bosses who try to implement the law.

As people begin to return to work, and the economic crisis begins to bite, it's really important that we don't let the government off the hook on this fundamental attack on workers' rights.

Hope to see you on Thursday.

I hope the protestor will put a stop to that "At Will" law. In the United States 42 of the 50 state adopted the "At Will" and I truly feel as though they should get rid of that law.

If they pass the At Will law then your employer can fire you just because they dislike you.


I wish you luck on the protest.

We can either vote for the fairy tale of “hope and change” or we can cast our vote for the “Maverick’s from Main Street.” The McCain/Palin ticket has just recently been trying to lure the middle class with their new Main Street myth, an attempt to portray themselves as sympathizers who understand how this economic crisis is affecting the majority of America. In the Vice Presidential debate last Thursday Palin said that credit markets is where "mainstreeters like me" would feel the effects of the meltdown. And earlier last week, presidential nominee John McCain said of the bailout, “The first thing I’d do is say, ‘Let’s not call it a bailout. Let’s call it a rescue,’ Because it is a rescue. It’s a rescue of Main Street America.” You know what you’ll find on most Main Streets in most American towns
