New Zealand

The Women’s Council Recommendation to join the ’12 by 12’ campaign was endorsed by the NZCTU National Affiliates Council on Monday 21st February 2012. They are lobbying for ratification of C189 with the Minister of Labour and the employers to bring positive changes to the employment conditions of domestic workers in New Zealand. NZCTU will work closely with the Service and Food Workers Union who organise workers in the aged care sector, including workers who assist people in their homes. They are also informing a number of community groups about the ’12 by 12’ campaign.
