HOLIDAY ON APRIL 24
Storemen’s Union
Request
“My executive unanimously recommends to the employers who are parties to the awards to which the union is also a party to observe one day of the 1962-63 annual holidays on the Tuesday between Easter Monday and Anzac Day," said the secretary of the Canterbury Storemen’s, Packers’ and Warehouse Employees’ Union (Mr J. L. Laby) last evening. This year Easter Monday is on April 23 and Anzac Day on April 25. leaving only one working day—April 24 between the two breaks.
Mr Laby said the holiday question had been discussed by the executive of the union. It had expressed its opposition to any suggestion that its members work extended hours at ordinary rates of pay in order to gain an extra day’s holiday at Easter "Such an arrangement is in direct conflict with the terms of the various awards.” he said.
