Global solidarity actions shut down Port of Napier

The Mar­itime Union of New Zealand has claimed a major vic­to­ry in its bat­tle to save secure local jobs at the Port of Napi­er.

The con­tain­er ves­sel Can­ber­ra Express left the Port of Napi­er last night (Wednes­day 19 Decem­ber) at approx­i­mate­ly 11pm with no car­go dis­charged after sit­ting idle at the port.

Mar­itime Union Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says this is a major devel­op­ment in the dis­pute and a vic­to­ry for local work­ers.
