MOTUEKA DISPUTE
STATEMENT BY LOCAL UNION NO OFFICIALS VICTIMISED (Per United Press Association! NELSON, Sept. 14 Mr D. R. Park, president of the Motueka airport construction branch of the New Zealand Workers’ Union, has issued the following statement arising out of various press articles conerning the Motueka dispute:— “ I feel that it is my duty to publish a statement on behalf of the Motueka branch. We appreciate the supporting attitude of our fellow unions in our dispute, but there is one point I would like to correct, as it may cause a certain amount of misunderstanding. After a perusal of my union’s minutes and correspondence I find that there is nothing to indicate that any official or member of this union has been victimised and discharged through this dispute—that is, other than through a normal shortening of hands through the work nearing completion.”
