The Fifth Biennial Conference of the New Zealand Labour Law Society will be hosted by the Victoria University of Wellington Faculty of Law (in conjunction with the School of Accounting and Commercial Law) on 15 and 16 November 2019 at Rutherford House, 33 Bunny Street, Pipitea, Wellington 6011, New Zealand.

The conference theme of continuity, change and emerging challenges is intended to encompass issues such as engaging with the United Nations Development Agenda and the role of the International Labour Organization; re-shaping the protective function of labour law; challenges for the corporate sector including its response to pay equity, sexual harassment and work family regulation; and access to justice.

The New Zealand Labour Law Society is delighted to host two outstanding keynote international speakers at the conference:
