ENGINEERING PROTEST
EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN SUPPORT FROM CARPENTERS Support for the engineering unions has been given by the Auckland Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners in protesting against the proposal to amend the Engineering Award so as to permit the introduction of female labour into the manufacturing sections of the industry. The following resolution has been passed: —“That this union strongly protests against the action of the Arbitration Court in granting the employers the right to make application to amend the Engineering Award, which was made for two years, and has been in operation for only six months; that this union protests against the action of the Ironmasters’ Federation in attempting to introduce female labour into the engineering industry, which is entirely unsuitable, from health considerations alone, to the future mothers of New Zealand; and that this union will assist the Amalgamated Engineers and Allied Trades’ Federation in any steps taken to combat the introduction of female labour into the industry.” An application to amend the award has been filed by the New Zealand Federated Ironmasters’ Association, and will be heard before Mr. Justice Frazer in Christchurch on June 18.
