New Zealand: Stop contracting-out at Port of Napier
The Port of Napier in the North Island of New Zealand faces industrial disruption and international union solidarity actions as local workers prepare to defend their livelihoods. The Maritime Union of New Zealand says management actions are putting secure local jobs in jeopardy and threatening the future of the port. A decision by Port of Napier management to contract out container stevedoring to an anti-union operator will affect around 25 permanent jobs and around 60 casual jobs at Hawke's Bay Stevedoring Services from the start of 2008. The situation has had an enormous impact on local workers, and will lead to inevitable attacks on wages, conditions and health and safety in the future. Secure local jobs that benefit the local community are under attack through what is effectively a contracting out process. The Hawke's Bay Regional Council owned Port of Napier has a responsibility to the local community and should operate in the public interest by employing a skilled, secure and unionized workforce.
