| 1263418 | 2012-03-06 22:03:00 | Now they have just got all their union buddies sacked. www.nzherald.co.nz . And they are all "gutted" by the move?? What did they really expect!! | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1263419 | 2012-03-06 22:13:00 | Did you see the vote. 35% support the sacked workers and 65% the port. That says it all. :) |

Mr Parsloe said the announcement "flies in the face of public opinion". Dicks. They had a sweet job, now they have none due to their actions. |

| 1263421 | 2012-03-06 22:27:00 | Traditional divide and conquer tactics. I doubt that this will be the end of it, and I sure wouldn't want to be one of the 'new' employees trying to get on or off the site. PoA's decision could have long-term and far reaching consequences for more than just Ports of Auckland before it is all over. Unloading a ship here is one thing, getting it loaded overseas is another, as is getting outgoing cargo unloaded in some foreign ports. Personally I think they jumped too soon, there was enough face-saving wriggle room left for both parties to sort it. Cheers Billy 8-{) :illogical Reading SJ's thread 'Breakdown: America In Crisis' might give you a hint as to why the PoA actions are unhealthy for all of us. |

| 1263424 | 2012-03-06 22:52:00 | I wouldn't mind being one of the new employees. Good luck to them. |

| 1263425 | 2012-03-06 23:35:00 | I wouldn't mind being one of the new employees. 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) |

| 1263426 | 2012-03-06 23:41:00 | I have always been happy to be in paid employment, and lets not pretend the wharfies were going to be underpaid or overworked. | Metla (12) | ||
| 1263427 | 2012-03-06 23:43:00 | Does anyone have a link to the old package vs the new package? Just the facts, no spin? |
