The Mari­time Uni­on of New Zea­l­and has wel­comed the release of the Labour Party’s policy for employ­ment rela­tions today.

Mari­time Uni­on Gen­er­al Sec­ret­ary Tre­vor Han­son says it is import­ant that the policy has focussed on provid­ing pro­tec­tions for work­ers in a time of glob­al eco­nom­ic tur­moil.

“The Mari­time Uni­on pos­i­tion is that we need to pay more atten­tion to the job secur­ity and sta­bil­ity for work­ers, and this policy has taken these issues on board.”
