Greetings Comrades
Twenty-one years after its formation, the Trade Union History Project is experiencing a complete renovation, from a new name to a revised constitutional structure and expanded scope of activity.
The Annual General Meeting in May 2008 resolved to change our name to ‘Labour History Project’ to better reflect the changing face of the organisation’s work.
Although New Zealand’s trade union movement – its traditions, culture and objectives – remains at the centre of our activity, we also need to work on a broader scale, taking account of working people’s lives, of progressive historical movements outside the union movement, and of international developments in labour history.
As the Labour History Project takes over and extends the TUHP’s proud 21-year record of achievement, our work is as necessary, inspiring and challenging as ever. We are confident that we have the skills and enthusiasm within our organisation to meet those challenges.
