Maritime Union of New Zealand General Secretary Trevor Hanson says he has offered the condolences of maritime workers to Mr Donald's family and his political family, the Green Party.

The Mar­itime Union of New Zealand has paid its respects to Green Par­ty co-leader Rod Don­ald, who died in the week­end.

Mar­itime Union of New Zealand Gen­er­al Sec­re­tary Trevor Han­son says he has offered the con­do­lences of mar­itime work­ers to Mr Don­ald’s fam­i­ly and his polit­i­cal fam­i­ly, the Green Par­ty.

Mr Han­son says Rod Don­ald pro­vid­ed strong lead­er­ship in pub­lic life and shared many goals of the Mar­itime Union, includ­ing eco­nom­ic jus­tice for work­ing peo­ple, fair trade not free trade, and the pro­tec­tion of the envi­ron­ment for future gen­er­a­tions.

“The Mar­itime Union will do our best to hon­our his mem­o­ry by con­tin­u­ing the strug­gle for the goals and prin­ci­ples he advo­cat­ed.”
