Lines strike called off

July 31, 2007

EPMU Media Release

Lines strike called off

Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union members at electrical lines company Tenix have withdrawn their notice of strike action after the company substantially increased its offer.

As a sign of good faith the workers withdrew their notice, which was to include an overtime and on-call ban, yesterday and will return to the negotiating table tomorrow and Thursday.

Tenix is the sole maintenance provider for lines-company Powerco and many of the negotiating EPMU members were involved in restoring power in Taranaki after the recent tornado damage.
