The Mari­time Uni­on of New Zea­l­and is throw­ing its weight behind locked out hos­pit­al work­ers around New Zea­l­and.

Hun­dreds of low paid employ­ees of Spot­less Ser­vices Lim­ited have been locked out of their work. The lock­out is now on day six.

In Inver­car­gill, mem­bers of the Bluff branch of the Mari­time Uni­on have trav­elled up from the Bluff water­front to join the pick­et lines at the hos­pit­al.
