As workers across the country return to their jobs for a new year, there's growing calls to give people the right to ignore their bosses after hours. A new policy document by the Council of Trade Unions is advocating for an amendment to the Employment Relations Act, off the back of Australia implementing 'right to disconnect' laws in 2024. Council of Trade Unions president Sandra Grey says many Kiwis workers are feeling pressured to take on unpaid overtime, and changes need to be made. "It's our time if we're not rostered to work and we should be able to say - actually, I'm not coming in on my day off, do the meeting on a day when I'm not rostered to work."
