MUNZ Media Advisory
29 March 2012
The Maritime Union of New Zealand has distanced itself from protests outside today’s meeting of Auckland Council.
“MUNZ leadership has spent today preparing for a meeting this afternoon with Mayor Len Brown at which the current dispute with Ports of Auckland will be discussed. The union is also eagerly anticipating the first payment to locked out workers for 5 weeks which will take place at the port this afternoon.”
“While the union supports the sentiment of well intentioned community protest it was not involved in the protests today and had asked protesters not to cause a disruption at the meeting.” Said Joe Fleetwood, MUNZ National Secretary
