Aotearoa New Zealand
Labour history was made as New Zealand had its first mall workers strike on May 25. Workers in JB Hi-Fi in Albany, organised with the Unite union, went on strike for better pay and against a culture of bullying and intimidation against union members. Unite had already organised the first strike at a JB Hi Fi store on April 16. Unite member Jack Lucas said: 鈥淥ur manager told me that I would never get a pay rise if I stayed with the collective. There was a lot of pressure put on me to resign.
