“CLOUDED VIEW”
Watersiders Reply (N.Z. Presi Association) NEW PLYMOUTH, Sept 6. The public were being fed the “usual clouded employers' view as a means of making them seem so righteous and the watersiders such wrongdoers,” the New Plymouth Waterside Workers’ Union president (Mr D. H. Old) and the secretary (Mr W. Pember-ton)-said yesterday. They said this in a statement on the watersiders' strike at New Plymouth, which entered its third day yesterday without any solution in sight. The strike began on Thursday after a dispute with the New Plymouth Port Employers’ Association over the removal of beams and hatch covers on a Norwegian ship, the 10,666-ton Ringulv, by members of the crew. They said that the employers seem prepared to involve the whole port over the dispute and must accept responsibility for what lay ahead.
