Riggers leave
PA Whangarei The 180 riggers employed on the Marsden Point oil refinery expansion site walked off the job yesterday over a demand for payment while they were at a stopwork meeting. While riggers attended the meeting in Auckland on Friday, the giant Gottwald crane used for lifting new reactors into place was moved. Riggers say they should have been involved in the job. They returned to the site yesterday and, after meeting, decided to stop work until tomorrow morning. They now want payment for Friday but the company has rejected this.
