LYTTELTON WATERSIDERS’ RESOLUTION

‘‘This branch of the New Zealand Waterside Workers’ Union condemns the action of the Minister of Labour in deregistering the Auckland branch of the Carpenters’ Union, thus leaving

the way open for the formation of a strike-breaking union.” says a resolution carried at a special stop-work meeting of the Lyttelton Waterside Workers’ Union, held yesterday on the arrival of the 7.45 a.m. workers’ tram at port.

The resolution added: “We feel that this action of a Minister in a Labour Government can do nothing but harm to the Labour movement, and create a position that the enemies of the working class movement have endeavoured to bring about and were unable to do when they occupied the Treasury benches. We demand, unless the Labour Government wishes to place itself in the same position as the Massey Government of 1913, that it immediately withdraw the deregistration of the legally-constituted Auckland branch of the Carpenters’ Union.’’
