Union organisers are calling for Port Otago chief executive Kevin Winders to resign as tension rises at Dunedin s port.
Tension between workers and management at the port had been building since acrimonious negotiations for a collective employment agreement concluded positively for the union at the end of last year, Rail and Maritime Transport Union South Island organiser John Kerr said.
From the union s perspective the management at Port Otago had been out for revenge ever since, Kerr said.

At a meeting last week, a collective of unions representing the vast majority of frontline workers at the port decided to do something about it, he said.
