HARBOUR BRIDGE STOPPAGE
Claims For Danger And Height Money
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 24.
Important construction work on the Auckland Harbour Bridge stopped this morning when the complete Labourers’ Union force on the job went out on strike. About 120 bridge-decking hands, steel erectors, reinforcing workers, and riggers are involved in the stoppage. The dispute concerns the payment of danger and height money to a small group of labourers whose job is to place the deck formwork for the concrete. The Conciliation Commissioner (Mr C. L. Hunter), who has been investigating the men’s demands, has warned there can be no further talks until the men return to work.
The absence of labourers is affeqting other sections of the bridge project.
