Socialist Worker (SW) was a socialist organisation based in New Zealand (Aotearoa).
Socialist Worker began to grow modestly through work done in workers' organisations such as the Solidarity Union,[1] Unite Union,[2] the Climate Change Coalition Climaction,[3] the anti-war movement and the Venezuela Aotearoa Solidarity Team.[4]
Socialist Worker had a regularly updated blog called UnityAotearoa.[5]
SW's national conference in February 2007 adopted a new ten point "Where We Stand" programme.[6]
SW was part of the International Socialist Tendency (IST). On 1 May 2007, it presented a May Day Statement to the IST, calling for a positive engagement with the Venezuelan Revolution.[7]
A number of SW members split from the organisation in 2008 to form Socialist Aotearoa.[8]
SW voted to dissolve itself at its conference in January 2012.[9]
