General Info

Marja Lubeck - Labour Party MP Marja brings to the role of MP her experience working for trade unions, including four terms as president of the Flight Attendant and Related Services Association and later E t¿ Director of Organising (Aviation). In these roles she was the lead advocate in negotiations with the airlines that operate out of New Zealand. She believes that strong unions, well paid workers and a productive economy are not mutually exclusive but that you need all three to power a just and effective economy. Marja believes that improving the rights of hard-working people and their families while also ensuring that businesses can thrive, is a constant balancing act. Creating fair policies that allow our workers to get ahead, requires hard work and an open-minded approach on the part of unions, government and employers. She is excited by the opportunity to combine her professional experience and her personal passions into her position as a member on the Education and Workforce Select Committee. As the first Dutch-born MP of Indonesian descent, she has received a warm welcome from these communities and is excited by the opportunity to strengthen connections. Marja is proud to be part of a Government that has committed to help the next generation and address the fundamental issues of housing, jobs, health, the environment, safer communities and education.
