BAD RECORD FOR 1941
INDUSTRIAL disputes in New Zealand, judged by the number during 1941, were more prevalent than in any year, at least sincc the present system of recording was instituted in 1920, states the monthly Abstract of Statistics. However, if consideration is given to the number of firms affected, workers involved, working days lost, or estimated loss in wages, the 1941 figures, although high, are by no means a record. There were 90 disputes in 1941 as compared with 57 in 1940 and the number of firms concerned was 98 as against 89 in the previous year. Although there were only 66 disputes in 1939, there were 636 firms affected, 15,682 workers involved, and 53,801 working days lost." In 1941, in spite of the higher number of disputes, only 26,542 working clays were lost and 15,566 workers involved. The estimated loss of wages because of disputes in 1941 was £34,917 compared* with £28,062 in 1940, when only 10,475 workers were involved and £60,394 in. 1939.
