Vineyard workers attack man at RSE accommodation in Marlborough

Four vineyard workers who attacked a flatmate have avoided a conviction so they can continue to work in New Zealand and provide for their families. The Ni-Vanuatu men, aged between 30 and 46, were in the country on a Recognised Seasonal Employer visa so they could work in Marlborough’s vineyards. They were living in RSE worker accommodation in Blenheim when a fight broke out with another worker on July 23.
