Ports Of Auckland Undertaking: ITF Comment
Commenting on Ports of Auckland’s undertaking to halt plans to make nearly 300 dockers redundant, cease outsourcing operations, and re-enter negotiations with the Maritime Union of New Zealand, ITF president Paddy Crumlin said:
“This really is a victory for common sense, and a ringing endorsement of MUNZs decision to resist the port company’s plans and challenge them in law.”
He continued: “The workers and their union have been sincere all along in seeking a negotiated settlement. If the company can genuinely match that willingness – and prove that they are committed to a negotiated solution – then an end to this dispute and the damage it has done to the port’s reputation could be within reach.
