This is an AI generated podcast, with the only intention of practice of publication of topics I find interesting backed by research and data Executive Summary:This briefing document examines the interconnectedness between historical unfair labour practices and the current employment landscape, particularly for full-time employees in large corporations in New Zealand. It highlights how historical events, legislative changes, and societal norms have shaped a labour market where the echoes of past exploitation persist. The analysis also draws on a more general source to illustrate how similar dynamics play out internationally, with a focus on employer strategies against unionisation and the psychological impact on employees.
