EPMU reviewing National’s third party injunction

April 13, 2008

The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union has been served notice that the National Party is seeking to overturn the union’s status as a third party under the Electoral Finance Act.

The National Party is also seeking an injunction to remove the EPMU’s third party status until the case is decided – a process that could take months.

The EPMU is taking advice on this situation and will make further comment tomorrow.
