How to get around election restrictions
1) Amend the law so it is illegal for any employees to be part of a collective contract unless they join a union
2) As Ministers, approve public service pay settlements which pay staff more if they join the union (one of my friends has said she would gain $1500 if she joined the PSA)
3) Unions gain hundreds of thousands of dolars of extra funding indirectly from the taxpayer
4) Unions spend this taxpayer money on an advertising campaign to get Labour re-elected
It is so obvious and blatant, that even the NZ Herald Editorial registers its unease at it.
