Ports of Auckland workers return to work

At 8.30 am tomor­row a group of engin­eers will be the first of the MUNZ mem­bers to return to work at the Ports of Auck­land.

MUNZ Pres­id­ent Garry Parsloe is pleased for the sake of the work­ers and for all Auck­landers.

“Our mem­bers are very happy to be return­ing to work. They want to con­tin­ue to be part of a suc­cess­ful port busi­ness that bene­fits us all,” he says.

“The Auck­land port is a vital to the New Zea­l­and eco­nomy and our mem­bers want to be on the job con­trib­ut­ing their skills and energy, not stand­ing out­side the gates while the port stands idle at a huge cost to every one of us.

“The work­ers are all going back with a very pos­it­ive atti­tude. They know what needs to be done to get the port up to speed again and they will be get­ting on and doing it.”

Garry Parsloe and work­ers report­ing for work will be avail­able for inter­view at:
