What more do they want?

What more does the Labour Party want?
More holidays on pay - don't want a chance to miss a day off. Poor businesses, they obviously don't count with lack of production in these hard times.
Maternity leave lengthened to 26 weeks.
After the government has put in place free hours and reduced rates in childcare facilities at great cost to the NZ people.
Do childcares close down, loss of jobs or will mothers still use them so they can go socializing!
To me these mums would rate in the same category as solo mums but much easier.
They would both be collecting a benefit as that is what it would be. One because of necessity, the other glorified times, with baby, partner, also to help moneywise and help-wise.
What has happened to 'An honest day's work for an honest day's pay?”

An honest days work for an honest days pay got "voted out" by those who want a days pay but don't want to do the work. By the 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. All the while we have the ability to vote away other people's rights you can guarantee more of the same


Hmm

What happened to your humanity?


Stolen

Stolen, along with over a third of the wages I earn, my individual rights, and large demand on the hours of my life from me denied my children and family. Now my turn for a question: What happened to your morality? You know, that thing that makes you believe others must be forced to do things some think are for the common good. Keep in mind that Humanity is not something gained by force

I thought morality has something to do with caring for others and having decent values, I must be wrong? Humans in civilized societies have always worked for the common good, that is why they are called civilizations. Not the free market dog eat dog jungle you are proposing. Death and taxes, get over it already.
