Russell Mayn: Maritime Union secretary on Auckland mayor Wayne Brown having no faith in Port of Auckland board - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Auckland mayor Wayne Brown has recently expressed his lack of confidence in the current Port of Auckland board- and plans on replacing them. 

The Maritime Union has fired back by standing by the Port of Auckland and defending them against Wayne Brown's criticisms. 

Maritime Union secretary Russell Mayn says that the current board is still relatively new, and have had to grapple with challenges posed by the last couple years.

Russell Mayn also says that the team is already quite small, and reducing the team in charge of the ports in a major city is impractical.
