Description
Business confidence has been steadily falling since the government took office last year. In fact a New Zealand Institute of Economic Research survey shows Kiwi businesses are less confident than they were in 2011 following the Global Financial Crisis. Owing to this uncertainty are the government's planned Employment Relation legislative changes reminiscent of the labour laws of the 1970s.
Join Hon Scott Simpson, National’s spokesperson for Workplace Relations and Safety, and hear about how these changes will affect you, Kiwi employers and the economy.
