Tradesmen are saying they still haven't been paid out for work they did after the Darfield Sept 2010 quake yet by EQC . 25 EQC staff to handle 70,000 invoices, come on wake up EQC.

Some Plumbers and Builders who did emergency repairs are saying they are going to have to lay off staff, or worse still will go bankrupt.
Then there are the Retail people who can't get into the Red Zone yet to assess what their future holds.
