Today the Hīkoi mō Te Tiriti set off from Te Rerenga Wairua and is making its way through the North, stopping in Whangārei for the night. In union news, it has been announced that plastic factory Sistema is likely to cut up to 100 jobs. A new report written by disabled researchers and commissioned by the Hanga-Aro-Rau and Waihanga Ara Rau workforce development councils calls for an action plan to be developed to support employment for disabled people in the construction, infrastructure, manufacturing, engineering, and logistics sectors. Climate change is high on the political agenda, with the world climate conference, COP29, kicking off in Azerbaijan this week. Climate finance will be at the centre of discussions, which will prove more difficult with Trump’s win in the US elections.
