CHEESE INDUSTRY
HOURS OF LABOUR COMPLAINT AT SUSPENSION ORDER. MEN THREATEN TO REFUSE WORK. A meeting of the Wairarapa and Bush Districts sub-branch of the New Zealand Dairy Factories and Related Trades Union in Carterton on Wednesday night carried the following motion: — “That this meeting of dairy factory workers request those that were responsible for the impositoin of the Cheese Factories’ Labour Legislation Suspension Order, 1941,” to cancel same, as it is not in the interests of the industry, employers or employees. We affirm that there is no war effort involved, and that the working hours are increased and overtime rates abolished without reason. The order gives the employers the sole right to operate under it, and the workers have no option. We hereby affirm that we will refuse to work under such conditions in future.” It is stated that the majority of the factories in New Zealand are not working under the order.
