- Socialist Worker (Aotearoa)
Socialist Worker ( Aotearoa / New Zealand ) is a socialist organisation based in New Zealand.
Socialist Worker evolved out of the group known as SWO. It has two main branches in Auckland and Wellington, but activists in most other cities in NZ.Recently, it has begun to grow modestly through work done in workers organisations such as the Solidarity Union [http://www.solidarityunion.com] and the Unite Workers Union [http://www.unite.org.nz] , the Climate Change Coalition Climaction [http://www.climaction.org.nz] , the anti war movement and the Venezuela Aotearoa Solidarity Team [http://www.vastnz.blogspot.com] . Many of its key activists are involved in the Residents Action Movement, which polled over 87,000 votes in the 2004 Auckland Regional Council elections.
It publishes a quarterly themed journal called UNITY, and its activists contribute to the monthly Workers' Charter paper. It also has a regularly updated blog called UnityAotearoa. [http://unityaotearoa.blogspot.com]
Socialist Worker's national conference of February 2007 adopted a new ten point Where We Stand programme, that is available here [http://unityaotearoa.blogspot.com/2007/03/where-we-stand-socialist-workers-ten.html]
