APPRENTICES ACT
COMMISSIONER SUGGESTED EMPLOYERS COMPLAIN “The whole Apprenticeship Act requires overhauling with wide powers delegated to a commissioner,” says the the annual report of the Auckland Provincial Employers' Association. No improvement has been shown in the practical working of the Act in the past year. The filling of the district quota too often excludes employers from taking on the full factory quota, with the result that boys were being debarred from skilled trades. Such a bar caused a distinct loss,’for a youth trained in a skilled trade was a greater asset to the country than an unskilled worker. The unions were mking full use of the Arbitration Court and the Apprenticeship Act to restrict the number in skilled trades, says the report. It advocates the abolition of the district quota.
