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 has welcomed support from Labour, the Greens and the Alliance for its election policy proposals to rebuild coastal shipping and protect the pay and conditions of New Zealand port workers and seafarers.

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.

No to Casualisation
No to Privatisation
Nationalisation of ports under workers control and management
AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL
