HOTEL WORKERS’ UNION
Sir, —In reply to Mr Neilsen, reforms have been my object, not personalities. I might have secured a majority vote had I the Labour Department’s, Mr Young’s and legal advice, the advertisement, the circular to members, plus the advantage of asterisks. Mr Neilsen was not “bound ; by the constitution” when he and an i unfinancial member occupied dual executive offices, serving alongside j three other unfinancial members, who ■ were not working in our industry, ■ seemingly, to my delayed action mind, , making a quorum impossible. What ‘ does the Labour Department think of J a unien executive functioning without a quorum? Reforms are no asterisks, < no unfinancial members, calling nom- , inations by circular to members! My ‘ unused ballot paper may be auto- , graphed. I understand Mr Brooks has J resigned. Sour grapes? I could have ! been plucking the ripe fruit from the ‘ vine had I accepted the proposal made ■ to me after the special meeting.— J Yours, etc., N. M. SMITH. 1 May 27, 1955. 3
