Joining a union

If there is union representation in a workplace, employees will be invited to join when they start work. The New Zealand Council of Trade Unions (CTU) website has a Union Directory listing the contact details of various unions for different occupations and industries. All unions must be registered with the Registrar of Unions, who is at the Department of Labour.
