“The Green Party would phase in five weeks of annual leave. We will provide organisations plenty of notice and ensure the full five weeks is available for everyone by the end of 2025,” [Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson] said.
She said Aotearoa is not currently “working for all working people”.
“Tens of thousands of people are working two, sometimes three jobs just to make ends meet. This leaves hardly any time in the day for people to rest and enjoy time with the people they love.”
She spoke of the Greens’ support for fair pay agreements and sick leave being increased to 10 days.
“We have also pushed to introduce pay transparency requirements – to help close the gender and ethnic pay gap, and foster fairness for Maori and Pasifika workers,” Davidson said.
