Mar 13, 2018 - Cleaning contractor, ISS has gagged the cleaners at Auckland Meat Processors, to stop them speaking out against cuts to a third of the plant’s cleaning staff.
AMP is owned by Wilson Hellaby which the cleaners have been told is behind the cuts.
Five of the 15-strong cleaning team received letters last week telling them they are now redundant and offering them redeployment options.
The cleaners believe the cuts will compromise hygiene standards at the plant and they want to go public.
However, they have been told not to speak to media, and they fear for their jobs.
Senior Organiser, Len Richards says most of Auckland’s beef supply is processed at the plant and Countdown is its major customer.
“This is a major meat supplier and it’s disgraceful that the cleaners have been muzzled to stop them airing legitimate worries about the safety of these cuts,” says Len.
He says the redundant workers have been offered casual work at the plant which suggests these are not genuine redundancies.
“It seems their real intention is to axe the secure, full-time jobs these workers had and to casualise them, so it can save money on decent conditions like sick leave and holiday pay.
“For this wealthy company to target its lowest paid, most vulnerable workers this way is miserable.”
Other jobs offered to the redundant cleaners are for only up to 25 hours a week, which the cleaners can’t live on.
“This whole episode is disgraceful,” says Len.
“We would urge Wilson Hellaby to advise ISS that the cuts are no longer required and to reinstate these workers.”
