Ports of Auckland under threat from secret SuperCity agenda
Posted on 19 August 2009.
The Maritime Union says it is concerned about the intentions of the Government towards Auckland’s public assets under the proposed SuperCity.
The union represents several hundred workers at the Ports of Auckland, which provides a major income to the people of Auckland who own the port through the Auckland Regional Council.
Maritime Union Local 13 Secretary Russell Mayn says there has been an ongoing “softening up” campaign from big business interests to sell off the Ports of Auckland so they can get their hands on them.
He says there is serious cause for concern that the SuperCity plan for Auckland’s local government will be used to push forward privatization of assets – including the port.
