A Talley's AFFCO special that focuses on the plight of 1200 workers in NZs largest and most bitter current industrial dispute with CTU President Helen Kelly and MWU Shed Secretary Laurie Nankivell
Issue 1 - What is this dispute actually over, what are the work conditions for meat workers like?
Issue 2 - How has Talley's behaved since becoming 100% owners of AFFCO.
and Issue 3 - What does it say for NZ's industrial relations when a multi-million dollar family can simply deem to throw a union out of its business?
Currently, there are 1200 AFFCO workers out of work. They and their families are experiencing extreme hardship. More than 5000 children are affected by their parents and grandparents not being able to work.
Donations can be made to CTU Disputes Fund at Kiwibank, Wellington (Branch), NZCTU DISPUTES FUND (Account holder), 38 9007 0894028 08 (Account).
Funds will be disseminated directly to the workers and used for essential food items and bills.
