Maritime workers oppose Ports of Auckland privatization sneak plan

The Mar­itime Union of New Zealand says any attempt to pri­va­tize the Ports of Auck­land will be met with mas­sive oppo­si­tion.

The Gov­ern­ment wants to repeal a law requir­ing a ref­er­en­dum before shares are sold in the port as part of Super City leg­is­la­tion.

Mar­itime Union Auck­land Branch Local 13 Sec­re­tary Rus­sell Mayn says the work­force at the port is firm­ly opposed to any part or full pri­va­ti­za­tion of the port.
