Join us at 1pm on Wednesday October 23rd at Parliament to stand up for Te Tiriti o Waitangi, workers’ rights, and public and community services for all. 

What: A hui for people, our unions, and communities to fight back against attacks to Te Tiriti and workers’ rights. 

Who: Everyone’s welcome – bring whānau and friends! Remember, people working in public and community services have a right to attend events like this during your personal time, including lunch breaks. 

How: If you work in Wellington central city, there might be a walking bus you can join with PSA members! Check out the details.

Where: Parliament Lawn 

When: 1-2pm, Wednesday 23 October 

And here’s why:  

The heart of health, local government, community and public services is care for people and our planet. We all come to work to make a difference. But the coalition government have made unprecedented attacks on PSA members, their livelihoods and the services they deliver. Together we can send a clear message that we stand for workers’ rights, Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a well-funded health, local government, community and public services. 

Get ready by printing out a sign to bring with you and let people know what you’re fighting back for:
