The Maritime Union has criticised what it calls an “unreal” payout to former Ports of Auckland boss Tony Gibson. Nick Munro/RNZ Former Ports of Auckland chief executive Tony Gibson resigned in May and is now facing two charges in relation to the death of a worker. Maritime Union national secretary Craig Harrison said the massive payout was “unreal” and an insult to port workers, Auckland ratepayers, and the families of those who had died at Ports of Auckland. Ports of Auckland Ltd also faces three charges under the Health and Safety Act. A Ports of Auckland spokesman said the board had to take into account existing contractual arrangements between the company and Gibson, which included confidentiality.
