It’s a scam

Radio NZ reports:

The Labour Party is tentatively backing a policy proposal from the Council of Trade Unions for a new taxpayer-funded agency to provide delegate training.

Of course they are. It’s a scam. Labour channels taxpayer money to the unions who in turn channel it back to Labour to help them get re-elected.

Unions should get zero income from taxpayers. Their income should come from convincing employees to join them because they provide a valuable service.
