No S.I. industrial mediator
(From Our Own Reporter)
WELLINGTON, July 22.
No industrial mediator for the South Island will be appointed, though provision for the post is made under section 180 of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Amendment Act, 1970.
This was said in Parliament today by the Minister of Labour (Mr Marshall) in answer to a question in which Mr M. A. Connelly (Lab., Wigram) said that applications for the position were called six months ago. “It is perhaps an indication of the greater industrial harmony in the South Island that it has been decided that no appointment of a mediator in the South Island needs to be made meantime,” Mr Marshall said. “The absence of suitable appointees is also a factor. The position is to be reviewed in six months in the light of the circumstances then existing.
“This decision was taken with the full agreement of the president of the Federation of Labour and the exe-
cutive director of the New Zealand Employers Federation,” he said.
