3月14日新西兰工会消息，新西兰工会表示，迫切需要为承包商提供更好的保护。工会呼吁政府继续承诺保护易受伤害的承包商。
今天，政府宣布将推迟就承包商和雇员之间的区别进行磋商。
新西兰工会联合会全国秘书长梅丽莎·安塞尔-布里奇斯说:”承包商的权利是成千上万工人的′面包和黄油′问题。
新西兰的许多承包商最终的收入远远低于最低工资。这是一种不可接受和无法维持的局面，特别是在生活费用危机的情况下”。
ETU助理国务秘书瑞秋麦金托什说:”低收入工人将继续不成比例地受到推迟协商的影响。
每个人都应该为体面的工作得到体面的报酬。承包商、包括清洁和保安，不应该因为他们的就业状况而收入减少”。
第一工会秘书长丹尼斯·马加说:″政府有能力在最近的就业法庭裁决之后展示领导力。去年，我们为优步司机赢得了巨大的胜利，他们被认为是雇员，而不是承包商。这应该为所有承包商树立一个先例，他们有权获得更好的报酬和工作条件”。
Better protections for contractors urgently needed say unions
Unions are calling on the Government to continue demonstrating its commitment to protecting vulnerable contractors.
Today, the Government announced it would be deferring consultation around the distinction between contractors and employees.
NZCTU National Secretary Melissa Ansell-Bridges said the rights of contractors were a ‘bread and butter’ issue for thousands of workers.
“Many contractors in New Zealand end up earning well below the minimum wage. That is an unacceptable and untenable situation, especially in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis.”
Etū Assistant National Secretary Rachel Mackintosh said low-income workers would continue to be disproportionately impacted by the deferred consultation.
“Everyone deserves decent pay for decent work. Contractors, including those in cleaning and security, should not be earning less because of their employment situation.”
First Union General Secretary, Dennis Maga, said the Government has the ability to demonstrate leadership in the wake of the recent Employment Court ruling.
“Last year, we had a massive win for Uber drivers, who were recognised as employees, not contractors. This should be setting a precedent for all contractors, who are entitled to better pay and working conditions.”
