AUCKLAND, New Zealand — “It’s what we said would happen. Bonus chasing, productivity chasing, it was all going to lead to disaster, and it has,” Carl Findlay, vice president of Local 13 of the Maritime Union, which organizes dockworkers at the port here, told the
Militant  May 6. Two stevedores have been killed at the port in the past two years and others seriously injured.
Laboom Dyer died in 2018 after the giant straddle carrier he was using to move containers tipped and fell. In 2020 Amo Kalati was crushed to death when a container fell on him. In the past eight years, 13 workers have died working on ships or at ports nationwide.
