The New
Caledonian USTKE union says it is expecting to start talks
with a Maersk shipping company representative next week to
find a solution for the port dispute.
The union argued
that multi-national shipping companies setting up services
to Noumea will harm other businesses and has asked for a
quota system for cargo being unloaded.
An agreement has
been signed with the multi-national Mediterranean Shipping
Company, but the union is still waiting for negotiations
with Maersk to start.
Union representative, Pierre
Chauvat, says an expert from France may arrive next
week.
