Fletcher Building woes continue as quarry workers prepare to strike

Quarry workers at construction giant Fletcher Building are preparing to fight for fairer pay.

Workers planned to demonstrate outside the company’s Winstone quarry on Hunua Rd, Auckland, on Friday with a 5am start.

The workers are calling on their employer to offer a fair pay increase, and additionally, bring an end to the long hours quarry workers were expected to work.

First Union spokesperson Bryce Hamilton said the company was not offering workers enough to keep up with the cost of living.
