The “in house” DCs represented were those from the major retail chains in New Zealand. The third party logistic companies included the MNCs DHL, Linfox, DB Schenker, Fliway (in association with UPS) and Toll.

There were also delegates from major courier companies. The seminar included a presentation from the DHL Divisional Operations Manager and union presentations from Robert Reid, NDU General Secretary, Karl Andersen, NDU Transport Secretary and Joe Hendren, NDU Researcher.

The seminar looked at the background to the growth of the global logistics industry, the logistics industry in NZ, comparative wages and conditions in the NZ industry, labour hire / agency workers in the sector and the role of the global union federations (ITF and UNI) in logistics with an example of the recent global DHL campaign. The delegates present established a new “Logistics Council” in the union and Eric Hokia from DHL was elected its first convenor.

The NDU has over 2,500 members employed in the logistics industry in New Zealand.
