Wayne Harrold gives a $1120 donation from Bluebird workers

Striking Ports of Auckland stevedore Craig Harrison shakes Bluebird foods worker Wayne Harrold. First Union members at the potato chip company fundraised $1,120 for the striking workers through raffles at work. Wayne is a delegate on the site and Craig is an executive member of Local 13 of the Martime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ). Grant Williams, left, is also a MUNZ executive member and delegate.

 

More than 300 Ports of Auckland workers started the first day of a twenty-one day strike today, Friday 24 February 2012. The workers have taken the action to stop the port's plans to casualise and contract out their work. Workers have been negotiating since September last year and have taken smaller strike actions in that time.
