ARBITRATION ACT AMENDMENT
EMPLOYERS TO CONTINUE OBJECTIONS
The Employers’ Association of Canterbury, Westland, and Marlborough will continue to press its ‘‘objections and suggestions” if the bill to amend the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act is reintroduced in the same form as the bill on this subject which came before the last session of Parliament.
This information is contained in the annual report of the association, presented to the annual meeting yesterday. The report said that a bill to amend the act came before Parliament but after evidence had been heard by the Labour Bills Committee it was not proceeded with. “Where the provisions of the bill did not meet with the approval of members our views were placed before the committee,” said the report. The principal features of the bill, according to the report, were: to provide for secret ballots for the election of officers of unions; to provide for a ballot of members of a union on the question of compulsory or voluntary membership of that union; and to alter the existing requirements relating to the retrospective application of wage provisions of awards.
