The role of the union is to negotiate the best deal possible, they failed to recognise when they reached this point and have now manourverd their members into unemployment. I think the 90 grand a year some of them were earning would be the preferred state. |

The same electorate stuck Rodney Hyde in , that says a bit about the value of local votes in that neighbourhood. |

| 1263430 | 2012-03-07 00:22:00 | Would you be happy with your guaranteed 40 hours work being spread out across 7 days ?? or have an 8 hour day, 4 in the morning, 4 much later in the afternoon/evening ?? ( a big gap in the middle of the work day) Who cares? I do non-standard hours. Plenty of people do shifts like that you know - how about milkers? Where is the link to this $27 an hourr they get? |

| 1263436 | 2012-03-07 01:47:00 | Who cares? I do non-standard hours . Plenty of people do shifts like that you know - how about milkers? Where is the link to this $27 an hourr they get? Its in a piece where the union are trying to say how hard they actually have it . The new POAL fact sheet claims the average salary is $91,000 but does not say what hours are needed to earn this amount of money – it is clear many hours are needed at the rate of $27 per hour including many shifts and overtime hours . The article itself . munz . org . nz/2012/01/24/ports-of-auckland-management-fact-sheet-short-on-facts/" target="_blank">www . munz . org . nz I'm afraid they failed to convince me, Port work has been the holy grail for manual labourers for decades, Light work, high pay . |

| 1263437 | 2012-03-07 02:55:00 | As I said in another post about a guy here who worked at the Port Of Napier years ago, use to skit how he would turn up for work at 8am and get sent home again because there was no work for him that day and get 8hrs pay for doing nothing. :) |
