WORK REFUSED
RELI/tF MEN REINSTATED. HAWERA, December 24. The Patea unemployment committee was recently asked to reinstate eight men who, having refused to accept work., at the freezing works, were struck off tho unemployment register, ihe committee referred the • request to the Unemployment Board, which ordered their reinstatement. This decision has aroused adverse comment in Patea and Hawera.
Mr A. Christensen, chairman of the Patea committee, said in an interview at Hawera that the Board’s action called for an explanation. It was absolutely ridiculous the way the board chopped and changed its policy. Mr J. E. Campbell, honarary unemployment officer at Hawera, also said that an explanation was called for as the decision was contrary to the Board’s circulated regulations. The Board’s decision was condemned in other quarters on the grounds that it was allowing freezing workers to utilise the unemployment funds as strike funds.
