Employment Relations Act 2000, Schedule 1A
The protected groups of workers are:
cleaning services and food catering in any place of work
laundry services for education, health or age-related residential care
orderly for health or age-related residential care sector
caretaking services for the education sector
security guards.
There is a process for other groups of workers to be added to the definition of “vulnerable workers” – where those workers are in a sector where restructuring happens often, have employment conditions that tend to be undermined by restructuring and have little bargaining power.
