Rt Hon Winston Peters Employment Tribunal Ruling Regrettable and Bizarre - Peters New Zealand First Leader, Rt. Hon Winston Peters, today said he was appalled with the Employment Tribunal's confused decision seemingly in favour of former press secretary Sean Creighton for wrongful dismissal.
Most employers act in good faith, but our laws are biased in favour of employees.
I know of several cases of potential employers being put off employing New Zealanders because they are afraid of this type of decision. I simply cannot see her logic. I gave him every opportunity to clear his name and even went as far as to give him a temporary job while he was seeking work. I actively looked for work for him myself. That is a charitable track record of dealing with a former employee.
