CRAIG HARRISON ELECTED MUNZ NATIONAL SECRETARY

Report from John Whiting, National Returning Officer Firstly, a huge thanks to members, Fiona Mansell, Zyana Maki, and MonaLisa Esau fromthe crew of the Kaitaki. Also Jimmy King, Mick Williams and Pat Harcus, who worked hard over a three day period to assemble, fold, and envelope the national ballot papers ready for posting to our members.

At our recent MUNZNational Conference I indicated my intention to stand down fromthe role of National Returning Officer for health and retirement reasons. Conference elected our Wellington Branch President Mick Williams as the new Returning Officer. I will assist Mick in every way I can during the transition.

The other important electoral decision taken by the Conference was to establish a sub-committee to review MUNZRule 16 - Election of National Officers, and propose an update that enables us to get the voting to our members in a more accessible way. We intend to get as close as possible to 100%participation in the democratic process. The sub-committee will

report back to our National Council May 2021 meeting.

Sub-committee members are; Steve Smith (Port Chalmers), Mike O’Hara (Bluff), Bones Pettifer (Tauranga) Mike Searle (Lyttelton), Tony Mowbray (Wellington), Hector Thorpe (Auckland), Mike Williams (Returning Officer), John Whiting (Outgoing Returning Officer).

The full results of our MUNZNational Election of Officers for the period 2020 to 2024 are as follows.

National President: Carl Findlay (Auckland) Elected Unopposed National Vice-President: Josh Greer (Port Chalmers) Elected Unopposed National Secretary: Joe Fleetwood (Wellington) 219 votes in favour Craig Harrison (Auckland) 242 votes in favour, declared elected Assistant National Secretary Ray Fife (Bluff) Elected Unopposed Also many thanks to the teamwho counted the ballot; Mick Williams, Jimmy King, and Bradley Clifford.

Let’s be very clear; under NOCIRCUMSTANCEScan your employer go into your consultation with you unless you explicitly request they do so.

We had a meeting with KR-IILand have requested they cease this practice immediately, as it is in serious breach of privacy laws on all levels.

Like the Drug &Alcohol testing, they have assured us they will;

Wellington Secretary/Treasurer’s Report KiwiRail Jimmy Mobbs VS KR-IIL Regarding the Jimmy Mobbs court judgement, Judge Corkill said costs were reserved and both parties must work together on costs. The good news is that thanks to the tireless work of union lawyer Peter Cranney engaging with KiwiRail, we have managed to have costs waived.

We in the Wellington branch are truly grateful for this outcome and also the time he and his teamspent on this entire case.

•

apologise to the effected member,

•

put out a memo to all staff working in a senior level, and

•

this union will also put out a joint statement with KR-IILagreeing to the approved processes for members who require medical attention after being injured at work.

Wage Rounds All three KiwiRail ferries rejected the proposal put forward by the company.

Our members spoke with conviction, with the common denominator being concerns about the Service Allowance and the need for a pay increase.

There were some good gains made by the MUNZwage round team, but this was not enough to get the proposal ratified by our members.

Joe Fleetwood and myself have been working with the MUNZlegal team, and we are now progressing through to the next stages of the wage round process.

Core Crewing

Following further discussions with Peter Cranney, the Wellington branch has agreed not to pursue this fight any further; we consider this case now closed.

We have been constantly on the backs of KiwiRail regarding core crewing, and this problemespecially pertains to the Catering Department. Our last count was 64 casuals.

We have been to court, we have been heard, the result did not go our way but we pick ourselves up and move on to the next battle, whatever that may be. Again, our sincere thanks to Peter and his team.

This is a direct result of KR-IILnot wanting to fill permanent positions as core crew leave, and they instead continue to fill these slots with casuals. This is an absolute bastardisation of rostering. The numbers below tell the story.

Medical Retirement

Aratere &Kaitaki Collective agreement 2008 – 2011: Four casual ABs and no casual Catering crew.

The union recommends that if you intend to speak with KR-IILabout medical retirement, you first seek advice fromMUNZbefore signing any offer the company puts to you.

We have just had a case where one of our members thought they had a pretty good deal, they signed off on it and left, only to find out that things did not go the way they’d planned.

They then made contact with the union to see if we could give them assistance in trying to get their job back, and we were unable to do so.

Drug and Alcohol Testing We have recently been in talks with KR-IILregarding the way they apply their very own interpretation of the Drug &Alcohol Policy to our members.

They have acknowledged to us that things must change on their end, in order to ensure every crew member who is required to undergo D&Atesting is treated properly in accordance with their policies and procedures.

They cannot give us any clear indication why the systemis failing in some cases.

Please keep this union posted if you think you have been unfairly treated in regards to a Drug and Alcohol test.

Work place injury doctor’s visits We are also aware that certain KR-IILmanagers - not all, just one or two have been inviting themselves into the consultation visits with our members who have been injured at work.

Arahura Collective Agreement 2006 – 2008: No Casuals or Fixed Termers, and every MUNZmember employed on this vessel was permanent.

What has happened?

I can assure our members this massive introduction of 64 casuals is all KRIIL’s own doing. They simply are not interested in what we have to say about this problem.

For more than two years, we have had various joint working parties trying to work alongside KiwiRail to remedy this problem, but the truth is we are no further ahead fromwhere we first started. We may need to re-strategise our game plan.

Kaiarahi KR-IILwanted the Kaiarahi to revert back to Walk On Walk Off for the Catering Attendants. We were officially notified about this Thursday, 1 October 2020 at 6:00 PM. I was speaking with some of our members, therefore I decided to write the email below before receiving the company’s email. Their letter obviously came as a result of mine.

This matter is now with the National Secretary and myself, and we will consider what options are available to us before charting a course forward.

This has been one big mess fromthe beginning. Some members were bullied to go live on board against their wishes, whereas some other

The Wellington Maritime Worker Published Regularly

members really wanted to live on board because of their own personal circumstances.

I remember vividly at the time we had some of our executive members being quite vocal to the K2 Catering crew not to do living on board, but members still moved ahead and wanted to do a live on-board position anyway.

In the 2013-2016 Terms of Settlement, the company had no right to start Living on Board (LOB) on the Kaiarahi. The LOBshould have started on the Kaitaki, as per the agreement.

Management at KR-IILdecided no, stuff it, we’re going to make the move on the Kaiarahi first, without consultation with MUNZand once again without a variation of contract.

There was no resistance fromany union member at all. I strongly remember raising this issue myself at the stop work meeting some years ago on behalf of the Caterers on the Kaiarahi, but this fell on deaf ears.

It would have been nice to see more people speak up about this absolute pig’s breakfast. That is why we are in this mess today. Now we all have to pick up the pieces and try to find some sense of normality and a happy medium.

KR-IILhave now changed things around again, and decided the Kaiarahi will stay a Live on Board vessel until they decide to make the change to a WOWO vessel for the caterers. Let’s see what happens.

understanding of our members or even the employers.

But for some unexplained reason, companies tend to develop their own one-sided interpretations of a document that we both put together and previously agreed on.

It’s a sad day when we have to hire lawyers and head into court rooms to clarify what both parties should already agree on.

Dennis Wells Farewell (StraitNZ Delegate, Blue Bridge) On behalf of the Wellington Branch and its Executive, we would like to thank Dennis for all his great work carried out over the years.

As a member Dennis has been involved in many wage round negotiations with MUNZand with StraitNZ. We wish himwell in his retirement.

NIWA MUNZmembers along with AMEAand MSGhave ratified the proposal by NIWAShip Management. This was ratified by an overwhelming majority.

Thanks to all MUNZmembers for your assistance during wage round negotiations, and special thanks to delegates Glen Walker and Peter Morrison.

End of Year Functions Preparations are now underway for the end of the year functions. Once again the Christmas function will be held at the Bristol Hotel.

Details will be posted on notice boards throughout both fleets, Strait Shipping and KiwiRail.

Important Notice: This year’s Old Timers function

As a result of this there was an extra push for more local observers to attend, in order to ensure our numbers were up.

This will now be held at the Trax bar in Wellington Railway station, 1600 to 2100 Saturday December 5th 2020.

This was a good opportunity for conference to spend additional time on the MUNZRules, which in some areas needed tidying up. Please see Tony Mowbray’s report on the 2020 Quadrennial Conference later in this newsletter for more info.

General in Brief

Pacific Maritime Safety Program (PMSP) Afinal letter has been drafted to government Ministers Michael Wood, Kris Faafoi and Chris Hipkins raising our concerns about training for unemployed seafarers. Thanks to Tony Mowbray for bringing this issue to the attention of the union and its members.

Wellington Branch Stop Work Meetings The next Stop Work Meeting is set down for Monday December 14th at 10am, to be held at 178 Willis St, 13th Floor of the NZEI building.

Maritime Worker Newsletter This is the last issue of the Wellington Maritime Worker for 2020. We trust it has been an informative newsletter and one that you have enjoyed reading and participating in.

This needs to be signed off by the National Secretary, and once this has been done I will send the letter out to the appropriate ministers.

Please keep your emails and pictures rolling in, as they will be published in the February edition 2021.

I will also release a copy of the letter in our next issue of the Maritime Worker, and send to all other branch secretaries.

To all of you and your families, have a great Christmas and a very happy and safe New Year.

MUNZQuadrennial Conference Report Dear members On November 10th, 11th and 12th MUNZheld our quadrennial conference in Wellington. It was different to conferences of the past because of COVID, and we had no international guests due to border restrictions. This did mean however that MUNZcould concentrate solely on our own issues.

With a fairly full agenda the three days opened with a Maori welcome, performed by Poneke kapa haka group. They are all students here in Wellington froma local Maori immersion school. They were well received and these young people put on an impressive, well drilled performance.

We had a bit of delayed start due to the weather causing some flight problems, but eventually we got underway with an opening address from the Prime Minister. She acknowledged all that MUNZcontinues to do and was appreciative of our ongoing affiliation to the Labour Party.

Previous minutes were then tabled by National Secretary Joe Fleetwood, followed by the national report fromboth Joe and National President Carl Finlay. These were then opened up to the floor for discussion in the usual manner.

We had five International video messages fromInternational Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) President Paddy Crumlin, ITF Secretary Steve Cotton, Maritime Union of Australia Campaigns Director and elected Woman’s Rep. Mich-Elle Myers, International Longshore &Warehouse Union President Willy Adams, and MUANational President Christy Cain.

They all spoke well, and after listening one soon realises we are not alone in our domestic issues. The ongoing fight for workers here and internationally must continue. It is always pleasing to hear that MUNZ continues to be held in high regard globally.

The highlight fromChristy Cain was the recent and long overdue legislative victory for workers and their families in the state of Western Australia, with the passing of the corporate manslaughter bill. This development in Australia has enormous significance in New Zealand as well. There are so many preventable workplace deaths in our country, caused by lack of training, safety shortcuts, commercial pressures, unrealistic targets, or fatigue due to rosters.

All too often workers are reluctant to speak out about these problems for fear of getting dumped, and the problems continue until it’s too late.

Our campaign for the same bill to be implemented here has become a major MUNZpriority. Why should anyone at a corporate level avoid accountability for deaths through neglect? In other words; “KILL A WORKER, GOTOJAIL!” Pike River is the perfect example of this, with the defrocked Pike River Coal chief executive Peter Whittall now running rest homes in Australia.

Shameful.

With the recent death at Port of Auckland, we are now in double figure

deaths in NZports, and workers continue to be harmed or killed in other industries like forestry. This is unacceptable, and every worker has to play their part in challenging this if we want change to come. By supporting workers in less fortunate sites and helping themto organise and become unionised,we can make a big difference. Unionisation alone will not prevent deaths, but it gives the worker a voice and an avenue to maintain safety.

It also makes it possible to hold corporates to account when they attempt to put profit before workers’ lives. Edgardo Valdez Lopez is the Cuban Ambassador to New Zealand, and he gave a heartfelt presentation acknowledging MUNZ’s longtime support of the Cuban people and their issues.

The Cubans are one resilient people! Despite the difficulties they face, caused by unjust sanctions and embargos imposed on themby the United State, the Cubans still sent medical teams around the world to help fight this pandemic, free of charge. That shows what moral principles this nation values, and should be an example to the rest of the so called “free world”.

Other speakers included LimDickson on “identity of the watersider”, who acknowledged our union was to play a part in his future stevedoring ventures.

Maritime New Zealand’s director Keith Manch also spoke, giving a brief overview of Maritime New Zealand’s policies. To be fair he weathered some home truths fromthe floor when it opened for discussion, and while MNZmay be the top government agency responsible for the maritime sector I feel they are not exempt fromscrutiny if it’s warranted.

The Chairman of our retirement fund, David Young, gave his report. The scheme is still in good shape given market climates at present. There were also amendments put to himand the trustees, having come fromthe delegates, that will bring the seafarers and watersiders sections more into line with each other in some areas. These will be finalised and members notified of any changes in due course.

Our keynote address was fromthe new Transport and Workplace Relations Minister Michael Wood. As one would expect coastal shipping (or the lack thereof ) was high up on the agenda. Mr Wood committed himself to this cause, and said he has already started in some areas.

Covid has highlighted the essential nature of our maritime workforce, and it has also drawn attention to New Zealand’s overreliance on foreign shipping companies and exploited foreign labour.

The government task force Mr Wood is part of can see the benefits of coastal and trans-Tasman fleets, and the first big point for us is the need to employmNZseafarers and implement intensive training schemes.

Revived domestic coastal shipping has huge environmental benefits, less cost to New Zealanders in roading upkeep, decongested roads and would help safeguard our borders.

The Covid infections brought by foreign fisherman (emplyoed by NZ companies) could happen at any of our ports while foreign vessels continue to carry our domestic cargos. All of this we are more than aware of, and what did seemencouraging was the fact the minister was also aware of this. MUNZcannot and will not stop the fight to have good coastal shipping policies reinstated.

It was also good to learn Minister Wood comes froma union organising background, so let’s watch this space. It was the most hopeful politician response I’ve heard in years.

Remits were tabled and discussed, and once again outcomes will be made known in due course.

I amnow on the subcommittee to amend certain MUNZrules and subclauses relating to members standing for positions at elections. This will be undertaken shortly.

Ex-member and comedian Mike King gave an honest and confronting presentation centred around mental health. The statistics of this issue are unbelievable, not only for our perceived vulnerable groups but for everybody. Mike delivered this with his good brand of honest humour but did so in a way that didn’t detract or downplay the seriousness of the issue.

Full credit for his honesty, and I bet all in attendance could relate to at least one of his points. The Branches made worthy donations to his ‘I Am Hope’ charity, with National Council topping it up. I would encourage all who read this to give Mike King’s cause your full support.

It was good to see the Branches well represented and to catch up with old shipmates.

I would like to make a mention of Jacob Blaikie (Wellington youth rep) and Nick Banks (youth observer), who attended along with a sizeable National youth contingent.

MUNZApparel - Wear With Pride!

This has to be encouraged and all members must start doing their bit in the times to come.

It has been a crazy time for all of us, but on the plus side I feel that unity within our membership has grown tenfold.

Hard to believe this year is nearly over.

Firstly, I would like to take the time to thank all of our MUNZmembers who have supported our Branches by purchasing union apparel.

It is truly great to see the members getting involved and promoting our union. While there were always shirts available, they did not always cater for the women members or the wide range of sizes .

I believe we owe a lot to our Wellington Women’s Rep Fiona Mansell, who did all the hard yards to get this off the ground.

We now have Dress Jackets, Shirts, Hoodies, Baseball Caps, Beanies, VNeck t-shirts, Puffer Jackets and Polos to cater for everybody. I have now taken on this role fromFiona while she concentrates on other union matters.

Wgtn branch contingent at MUNZ National Conference

Since late last year I have taken orders for just on 72 items so far, adding up to a combined total of over 130 clothing items ordered and delivered between Fiona and I. I have always told our members to wear your gear with pride.

After all, what better way to show unity and solidarity than to wear it?

Again, I thank you members who have asked for unique styles, the options are endless and you after are our union.

The next apparel order will be taken in Feb, which gives you time to recover fromChristmas and New Year.

Also, crew fromthe Aratere please take note; you can pass interest on to Lynette as she is happy to take orders for me.

Until then all the best for Christmas and New Year, stay safe and take care of one another.

Grahame Mclaren ITF Inspectorate New Zealand

ITFInspectorate Report November 2020 Hope Island On boarding I was approached by the Chief Officer, who told me he was incredibly stressed and wanted to go home.

He explained that the vessel was in rough shape with much work to be done on rusty walkways etc.

There had been AMSAinspections in Australia as well as two flag state inspections, and this was causing himto work long hours with a huge workload.

He said the vessel was so bad they had employed an extra two fitters to carry out running repairs.

He also said he fully expected the vessel would be arrested on returning to Australia.

I explained that as his contract period had not yet been completed, he would likely be liable for his own repatriation costs.

As an alternative I suggested he visit a doctor on the grounds of excess stress levels and explain that he felt he could be a danger to himself or someone else due to the fact that he could not concentrate on his duties properly.

He liked the idea of being sent home on medical grounds at the company’s expense but said he would wait until the vessel returned to Australia before doing anything further.

It’s encouraging to see what the experts say, but unfortunately it appears their much-valued comments seemto fall on deaf ears. Your struggle is our struggle, and we support you in all facets of encounters and arguments that may lay ahead.

Considering Port Freemantle still has a good working life of 25 years before any change is needed, the proposed introduction of a fully automated systemwhich inevitably is designed to replace humans (and destroy Families), along with a raft of other unacceptable explanations is totally unacceptable.

This is why Mark McGowan and the WALabor Government need to take a step back, re think, and re strategize their plans.

Maybe they should do the un thinkable, and that is to have constructive dialogue with the MUAand interested parties, it’s called working together for the sake of the working communities whether associated directly or indirectly to the Freemantle Ports.

Should Mark McGowan and the WALabor Party forge ahead, then this will no doubt have disastrous consequences for all associated working at the port of Freemantle.

We say to the Labor premier Mark McGowan, the port is owned by the community of Fremantle and not for sale!

Neither are MUAhard earned working conditions and pay. As your proud sister Union, we fully support your struggle to keep the Port in the people’s hands and we call on Mr McGowan to do the same.

MUNZ&MUAHERE TOSTAY!

I gave himmy card with instructions to contact me if he required any further help.

The occasion is more than just a holiday, it’s also a valuable opportunity to remember our past and figh for our future!

This year we remember part of our proud history - the time the Seaman’s Union chartered three vessels and sailed themunder workers’ control to fight back against the Northern Steamship Company.

1886 – John A. Millar, a charismatic ship Captain, is elected secretary of Seamen’s Union.

1887 – When the Auckland-based Northern SteamShip Co. in July

The Wellington Maritime Worker Published Regularly

announced a reduction of wages and abolition of overtime payments, those seamen who refused to accept the new conditions were fired and replaced with non-union labour.

“If you don’t let red baiting break you up and if you don’t let stool pigeons break you up, and you don’t let vigilantes break you up, and you don’t let race hatred break you up, you will win.”

The usual union response would have been to pay wages out of the strike fund, however, with a worsening depression Millar had to innovate to have a hope of winning.

Take it easy, but take it. All the best for the future, in solidarity.

He conceived of a scheme where the union would charter three vessels and engage in a trade war with the shipping company.

Alan Windsor 1799.

Retired fromthe job but not fromthe struggle.

Both sides ran at a loss but the union held on until November 1888.

The shipping company gave in and agreed to take on union labour at union rates.

AWellington paper declared: “Employers and capital had better look out. If the strikers are left masters of the position, whose turn will come next?”

It’s a question worth thinking about today.

Former Wgtn branch President Alan ‘Scruff’ Windsor awarded life membership Congratulations to Scruff on being awarded life membership of the Maritime Union of New Zealand.

L-R: Wgtn Branch Pres Mick Williams, Life Member Alan Windsor

The Wellington branch is especially proud of you for all the effort you have contributed to this union on a local, national and international level.

The following statement was written by Scruff in response to receiving this great honour.

I wish to thank you and my forebears for the comradeship and support for over 51 years at sea and in office of the New Zealand Seaman’s Union, the NZSeafarer’s Union and now the Maritime Union of New Zealand.

I came to sea fromthe Ngauranga freezing works, Pincher Martin rang me up and told me to get down to the Ligar Bay Cement Ship in 1967.

The education I learned frommess roomorators and activists has stood me and our union well during all the struggles we have been through; for wage justice, social justice, human rights and the right of every working person to go to work and arrive home safely.

I have enjoyed my role as Trustee of the Maritime Union Retirement Scheme, as this is the jewel in the crown of the resources and services for our members.

Below: Council of Trade Unions President Richard Wagstaff

The creation of the Maritime Union’s scholarship scheme for children of members to assist in further study and lifelong learning has been very satisfying for me to be involved in as a trustee.

The old timers who retired before me would quite often say “I don’t envy you son, I had the best of it.”

Now it is my time to move on.

I think if they had the best of it and my go was right up there, then what does that saying mean?

Well, I think the best of it is what you make of it yourself. Education is the key, so you can take on the employers. For any union to be effective we must have an educated, confident delegate system.
