An Auckland councillor says she’s surprised Ports of Auckland chief executive Tony Gibson still has a job.
Maritime Union members stopped work this week to cast a vote of no confidence in senior management and the company s board in the wake of a damning report on health and safety at the port, where three people have died in the past three years.
Auckland mayor Phil Goff says he’s counting on the board, which the council appoints, to drive the changes recommended in the report.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff is confident the right steps have been put in place to stop a spate of deaths at Auckland’s port.
Mr Goff called for an independent health and safety report after a three deaths, including a swimmer hit by a Ports of Auckland boat doing seven times the speed limit for the area.
That report found a lack of interest by management in health and safety and a productivity bonus system that encouraged workers to ignore safety rules.
