Welcome to the 21st Century IRD staff. IRD have too many workers, so reducing the employment conditions sounds an excellent 'market' way to get some to leave.
Ben Chipping, employee aged 27 "It is outrageous considering some people have mortgages that depend on their jobs, and children."
Well Ben, less ability to pay mortgages equals less demand for houses equals lower house prices. This is exactly the kind of thing that your generation asked for! As for the children, they can be rented out. There is many a rich family willing to pay a pittance for a young housekeeper. Good discipline for that upcoming generation too!
It all sounds like a white middle class crisis to me. It is an international world now. I bet all of those Madison employment contracts look gold plated compared to those who work in dangerous conditions deconstructing ships in Mumbai!
