flag New Zealand unions criticize exclusion from Budget 2025, arguing it prioritizes banks over workers.

flag The New Zealand government has excluded the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (NZCTU) and other unions from attending the Budget 2025 lock-up, sparking criticism. flag Labour Party leaders argue this exclusion prioritizes banks and financial institutions over workers. flag The NZCTU, representing 300,000 workers, claims the ban undermines transparency and impacts workers' understanding of budget decisions. flag The Public Service Association (PSA) also urges the government to reconsider plans to restrict flexible work practices, which they argue disproportionately affects women. flag Opposition to the government's changes to pay equity legislation is growing, with protests and a petition signed by over 65,000 people.
