New Zealand Port Workers Need Your Support – Please help now
Petition 1/2 way down page right hand side: http://www.saveourport.com/
In an attempt to drive workers back to the dark ages of casualization and destroy their union strength Auckland Ports has made a “take it or leave it” proposal to the Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) that would do just that and threatened to replace them with contractors if they refuse.
The IUF is standing with the MUNZ, the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions and with the International Transport Workers Federation (our sister Global Union Federation) in refusing to be bullied into accepting this ultimatum. You can read more here (http://cms.iuf.org/?q=node/1404) or you can simply help by taking a few moments to sign on to the union’s petition by clicking here: http://www.saveourport.com/
Thank you in advance for your support.
Ron Oswald,
IUF General Secretary
