After a busy and ultimately fruitful week of negotiations, Interislander has confirmed that its mediation with the Aviation and Marine Engineers Association (AMEA) and Merchant Services Guild (MSG) has concluded with a settlement.
Unions have withdrawn their strike notice while management has withdrawn its lock-out threat.
“It’s been a frustrating time for our customers, while the dispute was being resolved, and we acknowledge the work undertaken by both Interislander and the unions in making progress on these issues,” says KiwiRail chief executive Jim Quinn.
He thanked customers for their patience while the dispute was resolved.
