"This article is about the New Zealand trade union leader, for the Canadian politician see Andrew Little"
Andrew Little is the national secretary of New Zealand’s largest trade union, the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU).
Little was educated at Taranaki Boys’ High and studied law, philosophy and public policy at Victoria University of Wellington in the 1980s, where he became active in the campaign against New Zealands student loan scheme. He was elected president of the Victoria University Students’ Association and later became national student president. After graduating he took a job as a lawyer with the Engineers’ Union (a forerunner of the EPMU). In 1997 he was appointed the union’s general counsel (chief lawyer). Two years later, he was appointed assistant national secretary, and was elected national secretary when Rex Jones stood down from the position in 2000.
In 2007 Little was number 40 on the New Zealand Listener Power List. ["Clark still most powerful but Key nipping at her heels", NZ Herald]
