Potential redundancies on billion-dollar Transmission Gully project

Workers building the delayed billion-dollar Transmission Gully project now face potential redundancies thinning their ranks.

About 88 staff working with the joint venture CPB-HEB could be made redundant.

Amalgamated Workers Union national secretary Maurice Davis said the union was contacted last Friday about a proposed restructure, including the 88 redundancies.

"Over the weekend we were having conversations, but come Monday they have postponed it and put it on hold for a week for negotiations with the NZTA."
