Solidarity, not charity

UnionAID is about solidarity between working people. We recognise that the challenges faced by workers in the Asia-Pacific region are connected to our own struggles in New Zealand. When we support workers organising for their rights beyond our borders, we strengthen the global movement for decent work and fair conditions for all.

Our approach is fundamentally different because:

We back worker-led action: Rather than imposing outside solutions, we support local unions to develop their own strategies and campaigns.

We build lasting power: Instead of temporary relief, we invest in building organisations that can fight for workers’ rights for years to come.

We respect local knowledge: Union partners determine their own priorities based on their understanding of local conditions.

We focus on collective solutions: Individual handouts don’t change systems, organised workers do.
