A Ports of Auckland director has resigned after clashing with his fellow board members amid a bitter industrial dispute with union-affiliated wharfies.
Company chairman Richard Pearson today confirmed Rob Campbell had tendered his resignation over a "difference in views on board strategies".
The board would not make any more comment on the matter, he said.
Campbell was appointed to the ports board in December 2010.
He has on the boards of several companies including NZ Post and the Accident Compensation Corporation and as a trustee on the Auckland City Mission Foundation.
