CTU Welcomes Wellness Focus in Government Economic Plan
The Council of Trade Unions has applauded todays announcement by the Government that wellness is a feature of their
Economic Plan.
"Working people need an economy which makes life better. An economy which doesn’t improve the lives of all New
Zealanders and our planet is an economy which isn’t working. The economy exists to serve, not the other way around,"
said CTU President Richard Wagstaff.
"It’s tremendously important and significant that the Governments Economic plan supports and promotes better wages and
better conditions at work as well as addressing the social wage. We have glaring gaps in fundamental necessities like
housing that are all essential to wellbeing."
"This wider wellbeing focus will make sure New Zealand is a better place for all," Wagstaff said.
