Bus Dispute
Sir, —Once again the ordinary people and the pensioners are inconvenienced by the stoppage of public transport. One could understand their having a stop-work meeting if their conditions of work and rates of pay were not good, but in New Zealand our working conditions are among the finest in the world. These unions are acting like spoiled children: the more they have the more they want. Transport is inadequate at the week-ends. Why not stop altogether and hold their meeting then? By all means get round the table to iron out difficulties and improve conditions, but surely it does not require the stoppage of the whole transport system to achieve this in a country that has the greatest facilities for conciliation and arbitration, secret ballots, and all the rest of the paraphernalia.—Yours, etc., F.W.P.F, April. 13, 1965.
