Sandra Grey: CTU President on the new survey showing workers are displeased with the Government

from Best of Business · host Newstalk ZB

Thousands of blue collar and working class New Zealanders have expressed clear disapproval for this Government.  The Council of Trade Unions' Mood of the Workforce survey this month asked more than 3500 people about the past year. More than 90 percent rated the Government performance at one - or two - out of five.  CTU President Sandra Grey says people feel exceptionally let down by the current Government - and that they don't feel looked after. "For all political parties, I think there's a message in there that says people want bold politicians who will actually do something about making sure that ordinary workers have a great life."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
