FIVE-DAY WEEK FOR SHOPS
OTAGO RETAILERS OPPOSE PROPOSAL
,(P.A.) DUNEDIN. April 19. The Otago Retailers’ Association is not in favour of the adoption of the proposal for a five-day week. The secretary (Mr H. D. Tennent) said it was felt by the association that the time was not opportune for such a move, which must have an effect on other trades.
Shop, assistants were governed by two awards, Mr Tennent added. One related to the Auckland district, and the other to the rest of New Zealand. The Auckland award would expire at the end of June, and the award coverinr shop assistants in other parts of New Zealand would expire at the end of September, and the provisions of the new award would, no doubt, follow the lines adopted in Auckland. The decision in regard to a five-day week had been carried at a recent conference in Wellington of the Retailers’ Federation on the vote of the Auckland Retailers’ Association.
