Redundancy compensation supported

Redundancy compensation supported


The union for sea and port workers believes Labour's employment relations policy will go a long way to help protect its members.

Among the policy's promises, Labour wants to introduce new statutory minimum standards for redundancy compensation.

Maritime Union general secretary Trevor Hanson says the employment outlook appears to be worsening because of the international economic situation.

He says there will be a lot of workers who do not have redundancy protection, especially those not in unions.

Hanson says the union also supports Labour's retraining policy.
