Fisher & Paykel are denying that 29 of its workers have been made redundant to shift its fridge production line to Thailand.
The Engineering Printing & Manufacturing Union sent out a press release today saying 29 workers had been told yesterday that they were being made redundant.
They were told one of the company's fridge production lines was being discontinued in Auckland and was being sent to the company's Thailand factory, the union said.
But Fisher & Paykel chief executive Stuart Broadhurst said the release was factually incorrect.
"I can tell you everything the union have printed and commentary about Thailand is factually incorrect.''
