Workers at the Ports of Auckland say they fear they'll die on the job as pressures to clear freight are put above their safety. They say urgent action is needed. An Auckland Council led safety review into the Ports is due to be released in the coming weeks. But some wharfies they fear that no real change can happen until there's change at the top. Checkpoint cameraman Nick Monro and reporter Nita Blake-Persen filed this report.
