Workers protest New Zealand’s proposed "Fire-at-Will" Bill on Feb 5, 2026, fearing it erodes job security and labor rights.
Unions and workers are organizing a flash protest on February 5, 2026, outside ACT Party Minister Brooke van Velden’s Auckland office to oppose the Employment Relations Amendment Bill, labeled the “Fire-at-Will” Bill.
The legislation, introduced amid New Zealand’s highest unemployment rate in a decade, would allow employers to unilaterally define misconduct, deny compensation, and reclassify permanent workers as contractors without minimum wage, leave, or holiday protections.
Workers First Union warns the bill threatens decades of labor gains, enabling a shift toward precarious, U.S.-style employment.
Protesters argue the government’s reliance on ACT’s agenda undermines job security during an economic downturn, with no clear alternative plan in place.
