UNION DUES REFUNDED
PRINTERS* APPRENTICES DEPARTMENTAL RULING [ Per Press Association.J CHRISTCHURCH, Feb. 9. Consequent on the ruling of the head office of the Labour Department the Christchurch Printing ano Related Trades Union has refunded all dues paid by apprentices during the past two and a-half years. The ruling of the department was that apprentices cannot be forced to join unions and in line with this decision the Printing Trades Union is the first to abolish the collecting of dues from apprentices, which, as is the case with other unions, amounted to half the full dues. A man closely in touch with the Printing Trades Union said that in accordance with the department’s ruling there was nothing to prevent apprentices joining the union if they so wished, but again there was no legal provision for the payment ol half-dues.
