I'm no expert, but Port of Tauranga workes will also be unionised right? And presumably under an employer that offers good conditions, since they're not striking. Any jobs lost by the loss of business at PoA would in theory be offset by creation of jobs at PoT.
So basically PoT increases it's market share by treating it's workers better - win-win? |

I have an easier translation.
Plenty of doctors in our hospitals earn less than most of these assholes. Many outstanding people with PhDs teaching in our universities earn less. Many aircraft pilots in charge of many lives at once earn way, way less. Fuck these cunts. |

iirc POT is something like 80% efficient, POA is 60%. Basically the staff are employed to do a job, but spend a lot of time not doing it.

Acid's reaction to Ab's numbers is that there'll be a shit-load of overtime involved in order to reach those high salaries. What we really need to see are the average number of hours worked per week - guaranteed that they're not earning 90k+ for a 40 hour week.

not questioning the accuracy, but genuinely interested to know the source of your info, Ab....
if accurate then that's criminally that they are asking for more.... ffs.

Seems like there's a bit of history in Dockworker strikes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_Ne...rfront_dispute lol Dockworkers earning 30% more than most New Zealanders refuse to work overtime, and then strike for 151 days after receiving a 9% pay raise when workers covered by the industrial arbitration system received a 15% pay raise.

^^ Yeah it would be interesting to hear the unions side.
Militant/useless unions can diaf. Genuine ones have their place. Still, I wonder if BOTH PoA and the union would have negotiated differently had they anticipated a loss of $20 million of annual revenue.

Don't be silly, Simon. The POA CEO totally wants to ruin the company.

They also hate unions, poor people, etc.
Here's the big question: what the fuck is the major shareholder of POA doing? Thumbs up arse?

The major shareholders of POA is, IIRC, the Auckland Council. A number of Auckland Councillors have, IIRC (again) put out releases supporting the fucking union cunts.

There's no loss here is there? The work is going to a more efficient workforce who want to do the work - they're just down the road really.
Jobs for slackers are going to be taken away (through redundancy). The only real loser here is the union who will see a reduction in their monthly takings. |

I'm not so sure that I want to interpret that $27m of trade in the same way as is popular here too.

I'm thinking that any Aucklander also loses out here. Poor performing PoA is surely not good for the council, yeah? Less money for the council = rates increase or cutbacks somewhere else right?

In the near future the port will be more efficient and Aucklanders will be better off.
Some individual slackers will lose out too - but I've no pity for them. |

I'm concerned about just how long it will take for the PoA to be more efficient. It'll take the Port to have the balls to get rid of the slackers and will probably challenged by Len and his gutless pinko cronies.

I would think that the difference the POA held out for was not a lot compared to what they've lost from deciding to hold out. But maybe I'm wrong. To me it seems that either the Union demanded more than was reasonable or the CEO allowed their to be an extended industrial dispute which resulted in POA losing two major contracts. Or maybe they both fucked up.

You have it completely backwards. The PoA have made plenty of offers which the Union just keeps on rejecting. 10% pay increase? 20% on bonuses? Nah, not good enough. It's not the PoA that's holding out, it's the union.

I'm not blaming either side yet, I'm pointing out that there's not a lot of impartial and definitive information to make a judgement on. i.e.,

there are plenty of earner groups who have had the same sort of increases over this time of financial turmoil.
why not aspire?
