Union calls out Waste Management on redundancy plan
A union is calling out a rubbish deal that could see more than a dozen workers made redundant, only to be hired back as contractors. Workers First is accusing Waste Management, one of New Zealand's largest recovery and recycle operators of taking away guaranteed hours, wage protections, leave provisions and secure jobs. Workers are being made redundant with the option of buying their rubbish trucks from the company and becoming an owner driver, rather than an employee. Workers First Organiser, Justin Wallace spoke to Lisa Owen.
