Fascism is on the march in New Zealand

Make no mistake. Fascism is on the march!

BREAKING: Unite Union broken into, equipment smashed

Someone smashed into Unite Union last night, kicked our doors in, went through all our files and drawers, stole all our equipment, cameras, laptops, credit card, membership vouchers and benefits and spare keys. I am furious beyond belief at the anti working class scumbags who would do this to an organisation that serves low paid and vulnerable workers.

Campbell Live and Unite Union combine to do a formidable job in bringing Zero hour contracts to the attention of the public.

A well executed campaign has rapid success, with several fast food chains agreeing to ditch these abominable "agreements".

Campbell Live IMMEDIATELY gets threatened with closure, and now Unite Union offices have been "burgled", with all of their files and records gone through, and all their laptops stolen.

Coincidence? John Key is out control - he needs to go !

McDonald's workers walk out over zero hours

McDonald's workers furious at failed negotiations over zero-hours contracts have walked off the job today across the country.

Burger King has moved to guarantee secure hours for staff while Restaurant Brands, which operates KFC, Pizza Hutt and Starbucks abandoned the controversial practice last week.

Joel Cosgrove has been employed by zero-hours employers before and is showing his support at the Wellington protest.

"We've got maybe 100, 150 people down at Manners Mall," he told RadioLIVE.

"We've got workers from around Wellington who have come on down on strike against zero hours."

A group of protestors also marched up Queen St in Auckland for the same cause.

The Auckland protesters stopped outside Starbucks to applaud the scrapping of zero hours contracts there.

Labour's spokesman for labour relations, Ian Lees-Galloway was at the protest and said he hopes today's protests will lead to a good result for Unite Union members.

"This is about workers who are in bargaining, using their right to industrial action and other workers around them supporting them in solidarity," he said.

Mr Lees-Galloway is urging the Government to pass legislation scrapping zero-hour contracts.
