Our Union

Unite is a trade union for hospitality workers in Aotearoa - New Zealand. Our History

We are a democratic community of workers who have banded together to increase the power we hold in our workplaces. Our past victories include getting rid of zero-hours contracts, defeating youth rates, and winning back tens of millions in incorrectly paid annual leave.

We've got each others' backs too, union delegates are the power-balance to unfair management. From favouritism in our workplaces, to bullying and unfair disciplinary action, Unite delegates support and fight for the rights of our members.
