The Maritime Union of New Zealand was formed in 2002 when the New Zealand Waterfront Workers’ Union and the New Zealand Seafarers’ Union joined together. We represent waterfront workers, seafarers and related workers in New Zealand.

The Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) has welcomed the High Court’s decision to dismiss the appeal of former Ports of Auckland Chief Executive Tony Gibson, calling the ruling a major victory for workers.

Maritime Union of New Zealand Wellington Branch Secretary Fiona Mansell says the Union is deeply saddened after a passenger fell overboard from the Kaiarahi ferry in the Cook Strait overnight.

The Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) is voicing its concern regarding the welfare of underpaid seafarers onboard the vessel Vega (formerly the Aratere), which is sitting at anchor in Tasman Bay for over 50 days.

surprised no picket was put up accros the line so those nasty s*abs couldnt cross. Or Tauranga guys didn’t black Aucklands work’
Socialist Appeal fully supports MUNZ in fighting back against casualisation of the wharfies. This is an attempt to take the industry back to the dark ages, where workers have no rights at work.
This is without doubt an overtly political move orchestrated by the management to bust the union and as a way of making other workers feeling frieghtened for their jobs.
Naturally the government wants to privatise the port and their property speculator robber barons would dearly like to get their grubby hands on the Auckland waterfront.
Support the Auckland Wharfies
No to Casualisation
No to Privatisation
Nationalisation of ports under workers control and management
AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL
