Relevant offers
Picketing continued today at the Port of Napier in protest of the loss of jobs.
About 25 permanent and 60 casual staff employed at Hawke's Bay Stevedoring Services have been threatened with job losses after the port handed the contract to rival Mount Maunganui-based company International Stevedoring Operations.
The 120 picketers from around New Zealanders have been joined by dockers from the Maritime Union of Australia.
Port of Napier said jobs would not be lost because 22 local employees would be added to the 38 strong workforce.
