		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Maritime Union of New Zealand says that any proposal to privatize the Ports of Auckland would create a "perfect storm of opposition."

Maritime Union Local 13 President Denis Carlisle says those pushing the plan were people out of time.

"There is obviously a faction out there who want to bring back port privatization plans from the dead."

Mr Carlisle says that the privatization strategy with the Ports of Auckland failed in the 1990s due to mass public opposition and recent attempts to part-privatize the Ports of Lyttelton had also ended in failure.]]></description>

Maritime Union General Secretary Trevor Hanson says the proposed merger of Ports of Auckland and Port of Tauranga needs to be managed as part of a national ports strategy driven by regional co-operation.

He says that the recent coastal shipping report by the Shipping Federation and the announcement of a Government review into casualization of employment showed that good work was being done on the problems faced by the maritime industry.]]></description>
