Insurance Workers Not Keen On State Jobs
“As we never asked for this, and don’t particularly need it, we don’t feel grateful,’ said the general secretary of the New Zealand General Insurance Workers’ Union, Mr P. J. Doogan, when commenting on the statement by the Minister of Labour, Mr McLagan, that insurance workers would be guaranteed jobs in the State Fire Office. “What we asked was that the unnecessary monopoly provision should be dropped from the Workers Compensation Amendment Bill,” he added. “We want this because all our workers are on a better award and have better prospects of advancement and superannuation in private companies.”
