新西兰超市工人抗议供水限制,指出健康风险和政策不一致。 New Zealand supermarket workers protest water access restrictions, citing health risks and inconsistent policies.

新西兰工会正在挑战超市政策,这些政策可能会限制报到工人在工作时使用水瓶,理由是对健康和安全的关切。 A New Zealand union is challenging supermarket policies that may restrict checkout workers from having water bottles while working, citing health and safety concerns. 工人第一工会认为,获得水至关重要,在人手不足的商店中,缺水不切实际的情况尤其如此。 Workers First Union argues access to water is essential, especially in understaffed stores where breaks are impractical. 虽然拥有 New World 和 Pak'nSave 的 Foodstuffs 表示，个别商店制定了自己的规则并否认全国禁令，但一些员工报告说被迫等待休息时间才能喝酒。 While Foodstuffs, which owns New World and Pak’nSave, says individual stores set their own rules and denies a national ban, some employees report being forced to wait for breaks to drink. 联盟领导人和法律专家强调,必须适当和合理地传达限制供水的规则,并指出,执行这些政策如果危及健康,可能会违反就业协定。 Union leaders and legal experts stress that rules restricting water access must be properly communicated and reasonable, noting that enforcing such policies could breach employment agreements if they endanger health. 这一问题突出了整个零售部门的做法不一致,呼吁制定标准化、有利于工人的政策。 The issue highlights inconsistent practices across the retail sector, with calls for standardized, worker-friendly policies.
