Journalists and staff at legacy media outlet Stuff walked off the job on Thursday afternoon, striking in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, and Christchurch over what they describe as years of low pay, undervaluation, and attempts to divide the workforce.
E Tu Union delegates accused the company of offering insulting wage rises that fail to keep pace with inflation, after years of pay freezes during Covid and minimal increases since.
They also criticised plans to split staff into separate collective agreements, which they believe would weaken bargaining power.
Stuff rejected the claims, saying staff have received annual pay rises in line with the market and denying allegations of secrecy or bad faith.
The strike follows a similar action in 2022 amid ongoing disputes over fair pay and working conditions.

I should feel sorry for them but for all my good will, I’m not “that” altruistic……lol
We make stuff (UP). That’s why you won’t even be missed.
Hope they don’t come back woke lefties.
There is much to dispute. They have been paid far too much to produce biased irrelevant propaganda masquerading as journalism.
stuff em
they are not journalists but boot lickers without spine.
Ohhhhhhh, how 😢 sad..NOT. With Ardernies PIJF now spent its time for industrial action. They slept with the Devil.
Stuff, Trash, out with the garbage. Zero sympathy.
Looks like the covid handout money is all gone. No one wants you. On ya bike 🖕
Who really gives a Stuff
Accomplices in the planned destruction of NZ and its way of life
By disseminating fake news and propaganda and in attacking patriots
By misrepresenting purveyors of the truth
I’ll just go get my tiny violin.

And don’t come back until you learn how to be journalists not paid sheep – tell the truth!
