		<description><![CDATA[The Maritime Union of New Zealand says an agreement it has reached with Port Otago Limited is a "win win" situation that will prevent job losses.  
 
Maritime Union National President Phil Adams says a meeting of 150 cargo handlers held yesterday at Port Chalmers voted in favour of a proposal hammered out by the Unions and the Company.
 
Members of the Maritime Union of New Zealand and the Rail and Maritime Transport Union attended the meeting.
 
Mr Adams says the proposal will see no compulsory redundancies amongst the workforce.
 
"We believe the workforce will respond to the Company's efforts by continuing to ensure a high level of productivity."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Ports of Auckland has been put on notice from Unions that it will have to train its own workforce rather than fly in staff from other ports.

The port company wants to transfer skilled labour from Wellington and Lyttelton to keep up with work after 12 weeks ago laying off a substantial number of workers.

Maritime Union of New Zealand National Vice President Garry Parsloe says the situation is a result of the port company ignoring Union advice.

"They were told there were too many redundancies, and it would create a shortage of skilled workers. Now this has happened."

He says that the Maritime Union would only agree for Unionised workers being transferred into Auckland if there was a written commitment from the Ports of Auckland to train a sufficient number of its own workforce.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The two Unions representing port workers in New Zealand have come out against a proposed deal that would see the Port of Lyttelton pass into effective control of multinational corporate Hutchison.

The Rail and Maritime Transport Union (RMTU) and the Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) are working together to promote local control of the port.

Rail and Maritime Transport Union General Secretary Wayne Butson says the sell-off means a vital piece of New Zealand infrastructure will be effectively going into overseas control, with serious repercussions for the New Zealand economy.]]></description>
