STATE WORKERS
DISMISSALS AT HILLSIDE WORKSHOPS. PROTEST MADE AT MASS MEETING. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN. May 9. Twenty-two employees of Hillside workshops have received notice terminating their employment as from Friday. The position was discussed at a mass meeting this afternoon, when an emphatic protest was made against the dismissals and the placing of such men on the No. 13 scheme. “We also ask the Government.” the resolution’added, “to honour the pledge made to the workers of New Zealand at the 1938 election that a vote for labour was a vote for economic security.”
It was stated in official quarters in Wellington last evening that as work fluctuated it was necessary to take men on and put them oil. The Railways Department was in touch with other State departments, particularly the Labour Department, with a view to continuity of employment for the men concerned.
