Around 1100 workers at the Glenbrook steel mill, 58-km south-west of Auckland, New Zealand are on strike. A spokesperson for the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union, which represents around 1,000 of the mill-workers, said slow progress was being made in the pay negotiations with mill management. The workers did not to have a pay rise last year as the mill was not performing well, however the union said the company has this year recorded a record profit of about $56m after tax.
