UNION MERGER
Grocery Workers And Shop Assistants The Canterbury Grocers’ Assistants’ Union will shortly be merged with the Canterbury Shop ( Assistants’ Union. A. notice in the Gazette provides for the deregistration of the Grocers’ Assistants’ Union on December 21. After that further steps will be taken by the Shop Assistants’ Union to complete the merger. The present strength of the Grocers’ Assistants’ Union was about 650, which would bring the total strength of the Shop Assistants’ Union to more than 4000, said the secretary of the latter union (Mr P.'<M. Velvin) yesterday. Grocery workers would still retain their identity, and have their own separate award, said Mr Velvin. Although smaller in number
than some of the other sections of the Shop Assistants’ Union, the grocers would still have equal representation on the union’s central executive.
