Maritime Union message of support for ILWU Port of Longview workers

The Mari­time Uni­on of New Zea­l­and sup­ports the ILWU struggle for decent jobs at the Port of Longview.

We are appalled at the actions of police act­ing in col­lu­sion with mul­tina­tion­al cor­por­a­tion EGT and the dis­grace­ful attack on the ILWU protest.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to all ILWU broth­ers and sis­ters for the act­ive defence of decent jobs against pred­at­ory glob­al cor­por­ates.

The Mari­time Uni­on has iden­ti­fied the New Zea­l­and oper­a­tions of one of the EGT part­ners and will be happy to register our strong protest to them and pub­li­cize their involve­ment in anti-uni­on and anti-work­er activ­it­ies, if required. Inter­na­tion­al solid­ar­ity is the key to defeat­ing these attacks on work­ing men and work­ing women.

Please let us know if there is any way in which we can assist your struggle. Kia kaha tatau tatau – be strong, we are all one.
