Ten dollar Tauranga label a reality for provincial NZ

The around labour issues have moved from fifty years have changed from arguing for having better conditions for workers. Successive governments have changed the labour law to better suit the employer with the idea to that a employer having less obligations will be able to run a better business and thereby pass the benefit on his employees. The legacy of this is that has not happened. The new story hides an uncomfortable reality, that people in poverty are increasing in employment,leading to rise of the precariat class or working poor. The increase means little without statistics on how many of these in these jobs provide enough to survive. Many industries in the provinces have collapsed, the work that is still there usualy are casualised, temporary work, part time or shift work, meaning families are vulnerable to events, loss of job etc.
