Unite Union (Unite) is a trade union in New Zealand. It 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.〔(Beat the brands: SuperSizeMyPay part one ), Unity journal, June 2006, pp12-26〕 Unite is affiliated with the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions. It was the inspiration for the Australian UNITE Union, which was founded in Melbourne in 2003. 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. 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. In 2015 Unite engaged in the (End Zero Hours ) campaign, primarily aimed at securing minimum guarantees of hours in union collective employment agreements. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unite Union」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
