MERGING OF UNIONS
“First Step To N.Z. Body” (NZ. Press Association) WELLINGTON. Nov. 26. The proposed unification of five freezing workers’ unions into a North Island body was a first step towards a national freezing workers’ organisation to replace that deregistered by the National Government in 1951, said the secretary of the Pa tea Freezing Workers’ Union (Mr T. C. Gallagher) yesterday. The organising ot a national freezing workers’ body was in line with a decision made by Individual union representatives at a national unity conference called by the Federation of Labour in 1980, said Mr Gallaher. Since 1951 the freezing workers bad been split into separate unions, and the lack of co-ordination severely hampered essential work on the drawing up at awards, he said.
