(1) There be no increase in minimum wage rates but, instead
(2) An increased focus on training for young people.
(3) If the government is intent on making an increase, the increase should be modest and certainly no more than CPI

NARGON supports the general thrust of this bill which will allow employers in the retail grocery industry a greater degree of flexibility in the management of their businesses.
However, NARGON has concerns about aspects of the proposed legislation that if left unamended, could be a likely source of difficulty for the future.
This submission was made on behalf of the National Association of Retail Grocers and Supermarkets of New Zealand (NARGON). NARGON has around 500 retail members representing approximately 40% of New Zealand's food retailing industry.
It is NARGON's current recommendation that:-
That the Ministry of Health’s proposals regarding the banning of tobacco retail displays in New Zealand are rejected by the government and do not subsequently reappear in legislative form.
NARGON has made a submission to Medsafe New Zealand regarding the reclassification of destromethorphan, guaifenisin, ipecacuanha and phenylephrine to a pharmacy based clasification.
