Rail buyback on the right track
The Maritime Union says the buyback of rail and ferries is a good step towards rebuilding a top quality transport system in New Zealand.
Maritime Union General Secretary Trevor Hanson says the move is positive for New Zealand, and should have been done a long time ago.
“The only regret is that we have now had a generation where this vital part of our infrastructure has been first asset stripped then unsuccessfully operated by global corporations interested in shareholder profit, not for what is good for New Zealand.”
