Farmers Object To Govt's Not Keeping To Agreement
When the Government introduced stabilisation Federated Farmers agreed to it, but it was never realised the Government would ever break the agreement to -meet the demands of some of the militant unions, and at the same time expect other parties to keep to arrangements, declared Mr Perry at Edgecumbe on J Thursday night. Again and again the Government has acceded to the demands of unions. There have been demands for rises in wages and they have been granted. Now we find that some of the militant unions are seeking a further wage increase and it appears that they will get it. “We do not mind stabilisation but we object to the Governmen’s breaking its agreement and still expecting us to keep to it,” Mr Perry declared. “Such a system cannot last.”
