PIPELINE DISPUTE
Meeting Of Men Today (N.Z. Press Association) NEW PLYMOUTH. Feb. 3. Men working on the Kaptini condensate pipeline near Port Taranaki are to meet tomorrow morning to discuss a dispute which stopped work at 12.30 p.m. on Friday. The men—about 30—stopped work when they claimed working conditions were unsafe.
They were laying an 18in pipeline in a trench near an overhanging cliff. The Auckland organiser of the Northern and Taranaki Labourers’ Union (Mr E. Castelli) will attend tomorrow’s meeting. A meeting planned for 3.30 p.m. today was cancelled when Mr Castelli could not get a seat on a New Ply-mouth-bound flight. ' After the meeting, it was hoped that negotiations could begin with the Fletcher Construction Company, Ltd, the Taranaki secretary of the union, Mr R. Fulton, said tonight.
