新西兰工会反对以悬挂外国国旗的NACC VEGA取代国内MV Buffalo,理由是失业和违反法律。 New Zealand unions oppose replacing the domestic MV Buffalo with the foreign-flagged NACC VEGA, citing job losses and legal breaches.

新西兰海事工会敦促政府阻止以悬挂外国国旗的NACC VEGA取代国内MV Buffalo, 警告说它将取代多达32个当地航海工作。 New Zealand maritime unions are urging the government to block the replacement of the domestic MV Buffalo with the foreign-flagged NACC VEGA, warning it would displace up to 32 local seafaring jobs. 工会认为MV Buffalo号仍然是合适和可用的船只,违反了《海上运输法》第198条,该条在存在国内替代物时限制外国船只的使用。 The unions argue the MV Buffalo remains a suitable and available vessel, violating section 198 of the Maritime Transport Act, which restricts foreign vessel use when domestic alternatives exist. 他们援引违反就业保护,包括厨师和管家的转让权,并声称尽管该公司利润丰厚,但Holcim的决定将成本节约比当地工人优先。 They cite breaches of employment protections, including transfer rights for cooks and stewards, and claim Holcim’s decision prioritizes cost savings over local workers despite the company’s strong profits. 向就业关系管理局提交的关于调解失败的案件仍未解决,全国会计师理事会正在寻求政府批准外国船只从2025年10月起在国内贸易中作业。 A case filed with the Employment Relations Authority over failed mediation remains unresolved, and NACC is seeking government approval for the foreign vessel to operate in domestic trade starting October 2025.
