PERUVIAN STEVEDORES REJECT CONCESSION PLAN

Port workers in Peru have rejected the governments recent port concession programme, threatening to go on strike should attempts been made to implement it.

Union general secretary Trevor Hanson says a sudden flood of requests for imported labour in other industries indicates a concerted campaign to “open the New Zealand labour market up to sweatshop-style conditions”.

The government wishes to introduce private capital into ports, but the unions, although not opposed to this, are demanding clearer rules.
