Maritime Union steps up support of locked out Progressive workers

The Mar­itime Union of New Zealand has boost­ed its sup­port of locked out dis­tri­b­u­tion work­ers at Pro­gres­sive Enter­pris­es with union mem­bers to con­tribute one hours wages per week until the dis­pute is set­tled.

Mar­itime Union Act­ing Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Ter­ry Ryan says the res­o­lu­tion was passed unan­i­mous­ly on a nation­al con­fer­ence call of all ports today.

“The Mar­itime Union is 100% com­mit­ted to sup­port­ing the locked out work­ers at Pro­gres­sive using all finan­cial, indus­tri­al and polit­i­cal meth­ods open to us.”
