“Business New Zealand”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

In 1902 several regional employers' associations came together to form the New Zealand Employers Federation.

The motivation for the formation was to present a unified employer voice in collective bargaining and labour disputes arbitrated by the Arbitration Court. While the impetus for its founding was to defend employer interests in bargaining and labour disputes, the Federation emphasised that this did not entail opposition to workers seeking to advance their legitimate interests, and that it supported profit-sharing, co-partnership and the work of labour organisations in working for fair terms and conditions for their members.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

The Federation was founded for the overall purpose of ongoing advocacy on behalf of business, economic and community wellbeing.

In 1905 the constitution of the Employers Federation of New Zealand was formally adopted.

Throughout the Great War (1914-1918), the Great Depression of the 1930s, World War II (1939-1945) and the ensuing post-war boom, the Federation advocated for business, economic and community wellbeing, and worked constructively with all successive governments.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}}

In 1951 the Employers Federation became an incorporated society and by 1971 represented around 10,000 members.

In 2001 the New Zealand Employers Federation merged with the New Zealand Manufacturers Federation to form Business New Zealand (BusinessNZ),^[6]
