CTU challenges
Roger Kerr to prove his dishonesty claim
"I challenge
Roger Kerr to point to the alleged "dishonesty" in the CTU
statements on the Wayne Mapp employment Bill or withdraw his
defamatory comments," CTU president Ross Wilson said
today.
Business Roundtable Chief Executive Roger Kerr today accused unions of "ridiculous and dishonest arguments" against the Mapp Bill.
"Mr Kerr's bluster and slandering is a smokescreen for the fatal flaws in the Mapp Bill," Ross Wilson said. "Even National MPs publicly and privately are expressing concerns about the Bill."
"I challenge the Business Roundtable to point to the alleged "dishonesty" in the attached comments I made to the Select Committee last week," he said. "He shouldn't get away with childish slander."
