New Caledonian union awaiting talks with Maersk
The New Caledonian USTKE union says it is expecting to start talks with a Maersk shipping company representative next
week to find a solution for the port dispute.
The union argued that multi-national shipping companies setting up services to Noumea will harm other businesses and has
asked for a quota system for cargo being unloaded.
An agreement has been signed with the multi-national Mediterranean Shipping Company, but the union is still waiting for
negotiations with Maersk to start.
Union representative, Pierre Chauvat, says an expert from France may arrive next week.
