Timeline

1928

Cornelius "Con" Devitt (21 September 1928 – 13 July 2014) was a Scottish-born New Zealand trade unionist.

Born in Greenock in 1928 to Annie (née Muldoon) and Cornelius Devitt, he grew up in Clydebank.

He began working as a plater at a local shipyard and soon became involved in defending workers' rights.

After World War II, Devitt served in Egypt with the 1st Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders for his national service.

1953

He emigrated to New Zealand in 1953.

After his arrival in New Zealand, Devitt worked on the building of the Tasman pulp and paper mill at Kawerau.

1970

In the 1970s and 1980s, he served as the secretary of the Wellington branch, and then national secretary, of the Boilermakers' Union.

During this period, the union was involved in a number of high-profile disputes involving heavy engineering projects—most notably the building of the BNZ Centre in Wellington and the expansion of the Marsden Point Oil Refinery and the pulp and paper mills at Kinleith and Kawerau—and the Wellington and Kawerau branches were deregistered by prime minister of the day Rob Muldoon.

He became the head of the New Zealand Trade Union Federation, which later merged into the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions.

2014

Devitt died in Wellington in 2014, and his ashes were buried in Karori Cemetery.
