BAN ON LOADING OF AIR CARGO
BRIEF DISPUTE ENDS (New Zealand Press Association) WELLINGTON. September 16. A ban imposed by the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Engineers’ Union on work connected with the loading of cargo into the Bristol Freighters of Straits Air Freight Express, Ltd., at Paraparaumu this morning, ended later in the morning when the company agreed to reinstate four workers whose dii nissal was the cause of the blacklisting. The secretary of the branch (Mr W. H. Entwistle) said that the union had declared the job black as it considered that the men had been dismissed for refusing recently to load meat into Freighters that had been used the previous day for the carriage of livestock. “However, as the company has naw agreed to reinstate the four men when they can be found, toe ban has been removed.” He said the union had asked the Department of Health and the Labour Department to investigate both the conditions of toe carriage of the meat from Paraparaumu to Blenheim and the dismissal of the men.
