Strike over worker spreads

Workers at the Annex Road, Bath Street, and Bromley foundry sites of the Christchurch engineering trim of Andrews and Beaven, Ltd, went on strike yesterday until tomorrow: in support of a woman made redundant from the Bath Street office. The workers, from several different unions, ’ went on strike after holding .'stop-?' work meetings at which they heard a report on the negotiations with the company . for a , redundancy agreement. “ The secretary of the Canterbury Clerical Workers’ Union, Mrs D. T. Shannon, said that the redundant worker was a woman in her late 50s who had been employed as, a clerical worker for 12 years.

Workers at the company’s Birmingham Avenue head office and at the Moorhouse Avenue factory would meet today to consider their support, said Mrs Shannon. Those who have gone on strike will meet together at the trade union centre tomorrow morning to discuss the dispute. Mrs Shannon said that the company had offered severance pay of 15 weeks pay to the woman, but . the union maintained that the amount should be 28 weeks pay, because that was what the company had agreed to in negotiations with Auckland unions last year. “South Islanders don’t believe they should be treated any differently,” she said.
