BALTS IN INDUSTRY
AUSTRALIAN UNION OPPOSED
SYDNEY, March 26.
The Port Kembla branch of the Ironworkers’ Union decided to oppose a proposal by the Department of. National Service to settle 400 Balts in hostels at. Port Kembla and employ them in the steel industry. The union says it is not satisfied that the Balts will mix properly with members of the union, because most of them are said to have been Fascist supporters and enemies of trade unions. The union and the Illawarra Trades and Labour Council agree that displaced persons who have clean trade union and anti-Faecist records should be employed providing they are not installed in exclusive hostels.
