Meat Cargoes
Sir, —Deploring the loss of meat-loading to Timaru, the president of the Lyttelton Waterside Workers’ Union complains that two years ago his union urged the installation of meat loaders “to hold Lyttelton’s competitive position in relation to Timaru.” He should be reminded that his union delivered a shattering blow to Lyttelton’s competitive position when it refused to load the fallen timber from the Eyrewell forest. This timber was carried to Timaru by road over a period of many months, at heavy cost to the State. The cost to Lyttelton was also heavy, because the watersiders of Lyttelton presented to the port of Timaru an opportunity to demonstrate to shipowners its ability to handle cargo mechanically. In other words, the Lyttelton watersiders asked for what they look like getting.—Yours, etc., THEY SHOULD MOAN. October 11, 1967.
