Mana Mahi Aotearoa

Tauākī

Ngā kaimahi Māori e pā ana ki ngā taumahatanga nui ake i ngā wāhi mahi o Aotearoa.

E whakaatu ana ngā rangahau ā-motu he nui ake te pānga ki te whakawetiweti, te tūkino ā-iwi, te kaikiri, me ngā āhuatanga kore haumaru i tō te nuinga o te hunga mahi. He nui ake te rahi o te Māori i ngā rāngai mōrearea, ā, kei reira tonu ngā mate whara me ngā aituā e nui ake ana i te toharite o te motu. He iti ake te rahi o te Māori i ngā tūranga rangatira, ā, ka mau tonu ngā āputa utu me te aukati i te whanaketanga. He maha ngā wā ka kawea e rātou te taumahatanga atu anō o te “utaina ahurea.” Ina kōrero te Māori, he maha ka pā ki te whakahē, ki te kore rānei e arohia, ā, ka ngaro te whakawhirinaki. Ki te whakataurite ā-ao, kua noho kē a Aotearoa ki waenga i ngā whenua OECD tino kino mō te whakawetiweti i te mahi, ā, ko te mata koi rawa o taua kino e tau ana ki ngā hapori Māori.

Māori workers experience disproportionate levels of harm across Aotearoa’s workplaces.

National surveys show higher exposure to bullying, racial harassment, discrimination, and unsafe conditions compared with the general workforce. Māori are over-represented in high-risk industries where injuries and fatalities remain well above national averages, and under-represented in leadership roles where pay gaps and stalled promotion persist. Many carry the added burden of “cultural loading.” When Māori do speak up, they often face reprisals or indifference, leaving problems unresolved and trust eroded. In global context, New Zealand ranks among the OECD’s worst for workplace bullying, and within that pattern, the sharper edge of harm falls on Māori communities.

E ū ana a Workplace Justice NZ ki te aro atu tika ki tēnei mate kore tika.

Ahakoa kāore mātou i te whakahaere Māori, e ū ana mātou ki te whakauru i ngā mātāpono o te tikanga—te tika, te manaakitanga, me te haepapa ngātahi—ki roto i ā mātou mahi katoa. Ko tā mātou he aro ki te ārai me te kawe kawenga: te akiaki kia kaha ake ngā whakamarutanga i raro i te ture, te whakatairanga i tētahi waehere whakahaere mō ngā kaitukumahi, me te whakarite kia whakaratohia te tika e ngā tukanga amuamu, kaua ko te wahangu. Ka kōrero mātou mō te whakawetiweti me te kaikiri hei pānga kino—ā-tinana, ā-hinengaro, ā-ohanga. Mā te tū ki te taha o ngā kaimahi Māori, ngā whānau, ngā uniana, me ngā kaitukumahi e hiahia ana ki te whakapai, ka taea e mātou te huri i te ahurea o te wāhi mahi puta noa i Aotearoa. Ko tā mātou whāinga kia tiakina ngā reo Māori, kia ū tonu te mana, ā, kia riro mā ia wāhi mahi e whakakaha i te whānau me te whakatutuki i te kaha o ngā kaimahi Māori.
