More claims against Tana

Stuff continues to break stories about Green MP Darlene Tana. The TLDR version is:

• A migrant claiming they are owed $25,000 and were sometimes paid under the table
• A second worker has also lodged an Employment Relations Authority (ERA) claim for lost wages
• E-Cycles NZ had lost two previous ERA claims by former staff members.
• In August 2023, Tana’s husband told staff their wages would be paid late due to cashflow issues, while he was holidaying in Europe
• Membership has been suspended from Waiheke Boat Club due to unpaid costs
• 12 Personal Properties Security Register against Tana or E-Cycles NZ
• IRD withdrew liquidation proceedings against the company in May 2023 after agreeing a settlement
• A process server on Friday served a Statutory Demand on Friday after E-Cycles had still not paid the about $30,000 they were ordered to give to former employee 
• Other former staff say they are owed wages and/or were paid late
• Disgruntled customers say their refunds have not been processed
• A former staffer has offered to brief Chloe Swarbrick

I think it is fair to conclude this issue isn’t going away anytime soon.
