The New Zealand Labour Law Society was established by New Zealand attendees at the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law XIX World Congress in Sydney in 2009. The goal of the Society is to provide a forum for research, ideas and discussion about labour and employment law (broadly defined). It operates as a volunteer powered network with limited resources rather than as a formally incorporated Society.
