Is this why Len won’t back his board?

You're the and one of your largest commercial facilities in paralysed with industrial action. Even worse, it is a facility owned by your Council.

So it should be a no-brainer to come out publicly and lean on the Maritime Union to stop driving businesses away from Auckland. I mean ever Wellington's Celia Wade-Brown stood up for the wellington creative industries when a militant union looked set to destroy them.
