新西兰新的劳工法案通过扩大承包商地位、限制福利和申诉权,削弱了对工人的保护。 New Zealand’s new labor bill weakens worker protections by expanding contractor status and limiting benefits and grievance rights.

新西兰议会正在审查的《雇用关系修正法案》正在招致批评,因为该法案扩大了“特定承包商”类别,模糊了雇员与承包商之间的界限,使得要求福利更加困难,从而削弱了对工人的保护。 New Zealand’s Employment Relations Amendment Bill, under review by Parliament, is drawing criticism for weakening worker protections by expanding a "specified contractor" category that blurs the line between employees and contractors, making it harder to claim benefits. 它取消了30天规则,即确保从第一天起将新工人纳入集体协议,并限制个人申诉权,特别是高收入者的申诉权,要求雇主同意,这几乎是一个不可能的障碍。 It removes the 30-day rule ensuring new workers are covered by collective agreements from day one and limits personal grievance rights, especially for higher earners, requiring employer consent—a near-impossible hurdle. 批评者说,该法案破坏了集体谈判,巩固了工作无保障,将企业利益置于工人权利之上,称该法案是劳动保护的重大倒退。 Critics say the bill undermines collective bargaining, entrenches job insecurity, and prioritizes business interests over worker rights, calling it a significant rollback of labor protections.
