		<description><![CDATA[The Maritime Union has attacked comments by the group Stakeholders in Methyl Bromide Reduction (STIMBR) which downplays valid concerns about the use of the poison gas.

Maritime Union of New Zealand General Secretary Joe Fleetwood has condemned a statement from STIMBR (1 February 2010) entitled "Gas links with disease unfounded" that asserts there is no proof that methyl bromide is connected with motor neuron disease.
