CTU Calls For CHH To Get Back To The Table
The Council of Trade Unions today called on Carter Holt Harvey to return to the bargaining table with striking Kinleith workers and their union, EPMU.
“It’s hard to see any sense in a dispute which Carter’s claims is about changing workplace culture and it results in the workforce being on a protracted strike,’ said Paul Goulter, CTU secretary.
Paul Goulter said the dispute was ironic considering Carter Holt Harvey’s claim to be a leading edge, ‘Knowledge Wave’ company in New Zealand.
“Far from being at leading edge, the company’s tactics are nineteenth century,” said Paul Goulter.
“The CTU and our affiliated unions are right behind the striking workers and will continue to call for support, including financial support until this dispute is resolved.”
