The Free Speech Union has supported a member in filing a personal grievance against IRD with the Employment Relations Authority after an employee was threatened with disciplinary action for sharing particular opinions in a social media chat, says Jonathan Ayling, Chief Executive of the Free Speech Union.
“IRD employee Christine Massof was recently threatened with a formal disciplinary process by her employers after making a comment on an internal work forum set up specifically for women.
“After IRD installed feminine hygiene products in all of its bathrooms, Massof posted a comment on the forum: ‘This is awesome but a shame it took so long coming. And interesting, that now that men can menstruate, free period products are available in all bathrooms.’
“IRD accused Massof of not being inclusive and told her if there was any risk that her words could be offensive that she should ‘refrain from sharing opinions altogether’ and ‘remain silent’.
“That’s pretty ironic in the name of ‘inclusivity’. It is unacceptable for an employer to tell employees not to share their opinions in a forum designed specifically to support women.
“The personal grievance has been filed on the basis of unjustified disadvantage and discrimination after being labeled ‘anti trans’ and being told she was acting in a way contrary to IRD’s ‘inclusive’ policies.
“We expect compensation for Massof and recommendations from the Employment Relations Authority on how IRD and other employers can avoid this situation in the future.
“IRD should not discriminate on employee’s views differing to their own.”
I’d never work for these lunatic govts. Nonetheless, good on her for pushing back.And what a waste of public money putting ladies sanitary products in blokes loos.
Good on her. Anyone who thinks men need menstruation products is in serious need of locking up in the looney bin. Oh wait the looney govt closed them down…….😂😂😂
Seriously anyone who thinks men can be women is nuts! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they’re a laughing stock! 😂😂😂😂😂
Chicks don’t have dicks 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When a sitting Govt. is this insane taxpayers on mass should refuse to pay tax or rates….they can’t arrest everyone.
having said that it would just see them speeding forward with the implementation of the cashless society that the globalist have dreamed about for decades if not longer.
As citizens who want a free society the best way to fight back is to use cash as often as possible.
I know some people will find that inconvenient but, losing the right to use and carry cash will be one of the biggest mistakes we will ever make. …it will lead to us living on a prison planet.
THANK YOU for this comment!
Cash is King, and maybe we would have a better governance with a meritful, benevolent King.
Where i come from, any personal necessities are ‘personal’, and not the responsibility of the state.
U got a butt to wipe, wipe it yourself.
U got a ‘gina to sponge, sponge it yourself.
U got a health to maintain, maintain it yourself.
U got kids to teach, teach them yourself.
U got a home to make b 4 u enlarge ur clan, make it yourself.
U got a job, don’t hassle the ppl who employed you.
U got a job to provide, don’t rely on the parasitic state to cover your ar**.
U have an opinion, don’t try to verify it on MSM BS theater.
U have (still) friends, nurture your social network.
U got some cool neighbours, nurture them as well.
And if you work for an employment scheme/scam, whereby normal people get shafted, and that little guy on your shoulder tells you to get out of that (cushy) job, DO IT! Because it wont’t last.
Play with swine>>>U never win but they enjoy the filth they are creating.
