CTU condemns Carter Holt tactics

“The information I am getting is that a settlement was in prospect before Carter Holt negotiators deliberately tabled a proposal both parties had accepted was not a runner several months ago” he said

“It appears that Carter Holt are game playing and don’t want this dispute to be settled”.

“These are industrial relations tactics from the past and raise serious issues about the credibility of one of New Zealand’s largest employers.” Ross Wilson said.
