A stop-work meeting of Ports of Auckland's front line workers is underway to discuss systemic health and safety issues uncovered at the country's main imports gateway.
About 140 members of the Maritime Union of New
Zealand are attending. Despite being invited, no company representatives have shown.
The union has about 164 stevedore members but some could not attend because of work commitments, general secretary Craig Harrison said.
The port company has been approached for comment.
