@DanteThe 90 day is negotiable with new employees regardless of the new law. @TomThe Union is stirring it up because they have nothing better to do, Past there use by date, The push is a collection for the Labour party, The Labour party is broke and the union stirring is pulling in funds in both collection and union fees being donated to labour, The funny thing is Andrew Little will be signing off on the donations with one hand and collecting the cheque with the other. (There's a Name for that)
Can anyone tell me what was wrong with the laws already in place with dismissing employees? Surly there was nothing wrong with them I didn't hear any complaints and it also ensured that people were fired with good reason. I see the 90 day law as a step back in workers rights at a time where we should be pushing for job security. Can also lead to a step back in NZ wages.
No one has answered the question 'why is NZ different when nearly every other developed country has similar law's - some with probation periods up to 12 months - any one ? - No did not think so. Those who support the Unionis are utter morons.
