Labour MP and Minister for Transport and Workplace Relations and Safety Michael Wood is this week's guest for On the Tiles. He talks to Thomas Coughlan about his rocky first attempts to enter Parliament, his time on select committees before becoming a Minister in 2020, what he's learnt in his new roles, the backlash to Labour transport policies, including improvements for road and a second harbour crossing in Auckland, and the current state of the union movement globally.
