It was fantastic to catch up with our members at the OWASP NZ conference in Tāmaki-makaurau yesterday. Among the top concerns discussed were the time required to complete technical tests, pay equity and management ignoring technical debt and security concerns

The ATU SGM for 2023 is just around the corner. Make sure you’re a member, and have paid your dues to be able to vote. We’ll be discussing who should lead ATU, whether we should become affiliated with the CTU and how decisions should be made
Make sure you join here atu.org.nz/join and then send us a DM or an email to get the invite for the SGM on the 2nd of July
The ATU stands with the trans community in NZ against trans exterminationist fascists and those who support them. we encourage all of our membership to join their local counterprotests.
