A Message from the National Secretary
The upcoming Christchurch City Council election is critical for every worker at the Lyttelton Port. We have a crucial opportunity to elect pro-worker candidates who will fight to protect our jobs and ensure the port remains in public hands for the benefit of all.
This is our chance to secure a future with good, well-paying jobs and a strong voice for workers in our council. Your vote is essential. Please use this guide to support the candidates who support us.
In solidarity,
Carl Findlay
MUNZ National Secretary
