Labour will hope that the lack of enthusiasm demonstrated in this byelection is not reflective of a trend.

This increase has driven a smaller increase in overall union density. The 25-34 age group is where union membership is growing fastest. [2/4]

Good news! NZ union density has been steadily increasing among workers aged 15-44 for the last 9 years, and increased significantly in the year after the Coalition took power in 2023. [1/4]
