This year’s Biennial Membership Meetings brought members together in towns and cities across Aotearoa. Over September, E tū members gathered to talk about the issues we face and how we organise for better jobs and better lives.
The discussions were grounded in the realities members are facing. Rising living costs, pressure on wages, and changes in employment standards were front and centre. We went through our plan to fight back against this anti-worker Government, and in every region there was a clear sense of determination and a commitment to fighting for change.
Across the country, the message was the same. We are stronger when we meet, stronger when we plan together, and strongest when we take collective action. The Biennial Membership Meetings showed once again that E tū is a member-led union with the energy and unity to meet the challenges ahead.
