Plans to reintroduce pay deductions for partial strikes (www.rnz.co.nz)

The Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden has announced plans to reintroduce pay deductions for partial strikes.

A partial strike is where the employee is still doing some form of their work. Employers have been banned from reducing the worker's pay since the previous Labour-led government removed that power in 2018.

ACT's van Velden said she recognised the entitlement of employees to strike, but the disruption caused "should not continue without consequence".

That is insane. If striking workers are going to suffer pay cuts for striking you better believe those strikes are going to be a lot more aggresive since its become economic warfare.
