Workers at large Auckland pallet supplier go on indefinite strike

Workers at one of the country’s largest pallet suppliers have gone on indefinite strike, Stuff reports, as drawn-out negotiations over wages and job conditions falter. FIRST Union secretary for transport, logistics and manufacturing Mark Muller said employees at CHEP’s Auckland service centre – an Australian multinational pallet supplier – wanted a living wage and “significant increases” for people who had spent “many years” working for the company.
