Maritime Union wants answers to Government involvement in Methyl Bromide organization

The Mar­itime Union has attacked com­ments by the group Stake­hold­ers in Methyl Bro­mide Reduc­tion (STIMBR) which down­plays valid con­cerns about the use of the poi­son gas.

Mar­itime Union of New Zealand Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Joe Fleet­wood has con­demned a state­ment from STIMBR (1 Feb­ru­ary 2010) enti­tled “Gas links with dis­ease unfound­ed” that asserts there is no proof that methyl bro­mide is con­nect­ed with motor neu­ron dis­ease.
