INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Direct Talks Advocated (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 21. All the talk about industrial relations would not produce good industrial relations until New Zealand had “industrial democracy,” the president of the Federation of Labour (Mr T. E. Skinner), said. Speaking to 100 delegates at the Northern Drivers’ Union annual convention in Auckland, Mr Skinner said that workers should be taken more into their employers’ confidence and kept informed of what is happening in their industry. Employers were gradually becoming used to direct bargaining and were realising that workers were no longer prepared to stand in the queue waiting to see “how much or how little—usually how little”—they would get from the Arbitration Court.
