Rail and Maritime Transport Union to picket Prime Minister this afternoon

A meeting of workers at PrimePort in Timaru this morning decided to picket Prime Minister John Key when he opens a new swimming pool in the town this afternoon.

What; Picket of Prime Minister
Where: Te Weka Street, Timaru
When: 2 pm today.
