40-hour week 'part-time' at Sistema factory - union
Pay talks have stalled at the South Auckland factory making Sistema plastic containers where a 40-hour work week is seen as "part-time" and a 60-hour week is the norm. The union representing workers has long claimed conditions at the American-owned factory are like a sweatshop. Neville Donaldson is an E Tu union advocate. He talks to Alex Perrottet.
