Labour welcomes Ports of Auckland lifting of lockout
The Ports of Auckland decision to lift its lockout notice and an agreement to move to facilitated bargaining will come
as a welcome relief to everyone affected by the dispute, says Labour's spokesperson for labour issues Darien Fenton.
“This also means that the workers can now return to work and we can get Auckland's Port moving again.
“We support the parties finding an enduring solution where there can be an efficient service provided to Auckland
businesses without destroying decent work through the low road of casualisation and contracting out,” said Darien
Fenton.
