Capitalism sucks. And this pandemic and our housing, biodiversity, and climate crises have really brought that into sharp focus for many people in this country. We know that right now, there are people all around our country, but particularly in Auckland, who are living in really precarious and, frankly, desperate situations. Too many people in casualised and minimum-hour contract jobs, who have locked down for the wellbeing of all of us, have had to battle their bosses to try to get paid enough to keep a roof over their heads and be able to go to the supermarket. This is not an uncommon situation. Two out of five employees in this country work in jobs with hours that vary to suit their employer, not them. This is common in hospitality and also in community and personal services.
