Dispute At Docks
(N Z.P.A. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, July 19. Many large quayside cranes in London’s Royal group of docks will not work after today unless there is a lastminute settlement in a pay dispute involving more than 150 crane-drivers employed by the Port of London Authority. The drivers, however, will continue to report for work as ordinary dockers. The crane-drivers are seeking a substantial rise in the payments they receive as special workers, and also for such payments to be made even if they are not required to drive cranes when they report for work. Their demands have already been rejected by the port authority’s labour executive committee, comprising union officials as well as port employers—which now has the task of solving the dispute before Monday.
