FREEZING WORKS’ STOPPAGE
Men Dismissed At Wairoa (New Zealand Press Association) NAPIER, April 6. Some of the men involved in a stoppage arising out of * a dispute over the employment of butchers at Swift’s * freezing works at Wairoa had been discharged, the company’s manager (Mr F. H. Mardon) said yesterday. ‘‘So far as the company is concerned, they are finished,” he said. The stoppage began last Wednesday, after a dispute over the company’s employment of butchers to do the work which the Wairoa branch of the Freezing Workers’ Union claimed was normally, and customarily, done by boneqs, trimmers and boners’ labourers. About 130 men were involved in the stoppage, but there was no indication yesterday of how many men have been discharged. Neither the president of the union (Mr P. Miller), nor the secretary (Mr R. Timu), would comment on the situation today.
