Solidarity from Bangladesh's garment workers' movement to @NZPFU firefighters on day 65 of action, and thanks to @RMTunion for showing what internationalism means. Fair pay for those who risk their lives for us is not too much to ask. An injury to one is an injury to all!

Dunedin Firefighters send a crystal-clear message - echoing the exact concerns raised by the Minister. Yet the questions remain: Where is the Chief Executive? Why hasn’t this failed executive leadership team been cleaned out? #NZPol

A CBD high-rise apartment fire minutes before a strike—and Auckland’s heavy ladder truck had to be dispatched straight from the mechanic’s. 🚨 This is why we walk off the job. Our communities and firefighters need gear that actually works.
