The New Zealand media just reported:
Ports of Auckland director Rob Campbell has quit the port company board over differences in opinion.
Port chairman Richard Pearson confirmed Campbell’s resignation today, saying it ”resulted from differences in views on board strategy”.
Ports of Auckland is currently embroiled in a bitter and lengthy dispute with the Maritime Union of New Zealand over its plan to contract out work on the waterfront.
The two parties are before the Employment Court today.
The port’s council controlled shareholder, Auckland Council Investments, was responsible for board appointments, Pearson said.
