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:
