MINISTER'S REPLY
LIABILITIES OF EMPLOYERS
QUESTION OF UNION FEES
Replying lo the recent protest entered by tlie Whakatane County Council regarding the liability of employing authorities to deduct from employees wages accrued Union fees and arrears the Minister of Labour has written Mr W. Sullivan, M.P. (to whom representations were made) stating that employers were liable to penalties for employing a worker who was not a member of the Union covered by the relative award and at the same time the employer was unable to dismiss the worker if employed in an essential industry. The regulation therefore provides that if a worker is engaged in an essential undertaking and he should lawfully be a member of an industrial union, then he is deemed to be already a member of that union. Should he refuse to pay the appropriate union fees, the |>istrict Manpower Officer, on the request of the Secretary of the Union, i's required to direct the deduction of the amount due from wages a&ervtcd to the worker.
