 Hi, my name's Nelly, I work at the Port of Auckland, basically I'm here to, I'm a straddle driver, basically I'm here to let people know how we've been treated and what's it like to work with the union guys, obviously we are non-union guys. Well, to be honest, we've been treated unfairly, being bullied, called names, like a scape and their sort of stuff, eggs thrown into my car, when I drive into work, flags on the car, all sorts, you name it. They've gone to a point where, if you walk past them, they'll surely charge you, even spit at you, curse at you, even go on to physical threats outside of work. Yeah, these guys are on strike at the moment, obviously they knew that we were going to be working today, so they did a lot of things, a couple of the guys pissed on the barbecue, they took the pinball balls away, they hit the pool table balls away. Also, they've gone and taken the skycard out of the sky room, so yeah, they know that we're going to be here, so they've made it worse for us. I left the union because there was racism, when I came back from injury, I received a letter accusing the brown guys, you know, the brown boys getting all the jobs and that sort of stuff. And it wasn't comfortable because I'm a brown person and I'm proud to be a brown person and these guys are writing, you know, these guys are supposed to be supporting us, helping us through. Because in here, you're not entitled to your own decision, you should be able to make your own call in regard of what you want to do in life, you know. You want to come to work because you want to be at work, you don't have to come to work worrying about people, what they're going to do to you. You shouldn't have to turn your head to look out for your back and look out for your mates, so it should be a friendly place and it's a lot easier when you're friendly with other people, you know, work together. The union guys here, they support us, look after their workers, but really, they're looking out for themselves. Since they've been away, I'm striking, obviously they're striking for three weeks now and current strikes. The boys come in to work more relaxed now, they're happy, smiling, laughing, they're getting along together now. And it's a lot easier to work when, you know, when you get along, the job gets easier, you know, it's just, it's a lot easier, the day goes faster. And plus your family's not worrying about you, you know, when you come in to work when these guys are not here.
