BAKERS' DECISION
SATURDAY WORK ISSUE BALLOTS FOR STRIKE ACTION P.A. WELLINGTON, Dec. 9. Workers at the Golden Crust Bakery, Miramar, have decided by secret ballot to strike on Monday next if their employers do not discontinue the practice of deducting sums from their pay because of their refusal to bake on Saturdays. It is reported that similar action is threatened by the employees of Stacey and Hawker, Ltd., of Christchurch.
The New Zealand Baking Trades Union has, for nearly two years, refused to accept a six-day baking week, and a small minority of employers is reported to have followed the practice over the last 18 months of rostering men for Saturday and deducting sums from their pay because of their default on that day. The union has brought the issue to a head over the last few months in an attempt to have the position clarified.
