FIRST Union stands in solidarity with E Tū
FIRST Union congratulates E Tū, New Zealand’s newest and largest private sector union, on its formation.
“We believe E Tū will strengthen unionisation in the private sector,” says FIRST Union General Secretary Robert Reid.
“FIRST Union was formed in 2011 after the merger between the National Distribution Union and Finsec. FIRST, with 27,000
members across the country, continues to grow despite a harsh industrial environment.”
“We look forward to working with E Tū,” says Reid.
“We offer our congratulations, solidarity and best wishes to E Tū for the future.”
