It represents a number of workers across various industries, and was the sponsor of the Supersizemypay.com campaign directed towards improving working conditions for fast food workers in the country, in addition to representing other hospitality and retail workers.[1] Unite is affiliated with the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions. HistoryIn mid 2003 a small group of trade unionists and activists attempted to "organise the unorganised". It began to focus on unionising workers predominantly from fast food, cinema and security. In response to the Key Government's amendment to the Employment Relations Act 2000 allowing small businesses greater liberty to 'hire and fire' workers in the first 90 days, Unite established the 'Rat Patrol' to name and shame companies that abuse the legislation.[2] Matt McCarten's United Support Services, a company he formed to supply support services to the union, was placed into liquidation on 17 June 2011 owing $92,000 in unpaid taxes to the IRD.[3]In 2015 Unite engaged in the End Zero Hours campaign, primarily aimed at securing minimum guarantees of hours in union collective employment agreements.[4] The campaign was ultimately successful with the National Government passing legislation outlawing "zero hour contracts".[5] It was the inspiration for the Australian UNITE Union, which was founded in Melbourne in 2003. {{-}}References1. ^Beat the brands: SuperSizeMyPay part one {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724195923/http://www.socialistworkerarchive.net.nz/~server/Socialist_Worker_NZ_Archive/Unity_(2006)_files/UNITY%20June%2006%20laid%20up.pdf |date=July 24, 2011 }}, Unity journal, June 2006, pp12-26 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/unite-holds-rat-patrol-in-aotea-square-2507459 |title=Unite holds 'Rat Patrol' in Aotea Square |date=28 February 2009 |agency=Newstalk ZB |work=Television New Zealand |accessdate=25 November 2011}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.nbr.co.nz/article/mccartens-unite-liquidated-mn-p-95547|title=McCarten's Unite liquidated|first=|date=17 June 2011|work=National Business Review|subscription=yes|access-date=|via=|author=Matt Nippert}} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11441887 |title=Celebrations after McDonald's ends zero hour contracts|date=1 May 2015 |accessdate=28 May 2015}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.business.govt.nz/news/times-up-for-zero-hour-contracts/|title=Time's up for 'zero-hour' contracts|website=www.business.govt.nz|language=en-NZ|access-date=2017-11-26}} External links
