Auckland to sack 292 striking dockers, replacing them with new hires

2012 03 09


STRIKE-PLAGUED Ports of Auckland (PoA) will start sacking 292 striking dockers next week and make new hires, said PoA chief executive Tony Gibson, adding that the fired workers could reapply, but under a new contract.

"This decision has not been made lightly, but we believe it is vital to ensuring a successful and sustainable future for the port," said Mr Gibson.

Said Maritime Union president Garry Parsloe: "We cannot let Ports of Auckland get away with this. It's by no means the end of our campaign. Port management wants to take away job security from 300 ordinary working families."
