Representatives from the association and the union met iin Christchurch yesterday and they agreed to meet in Wellington next Wednesdav and Thursday in pre-conciliation talks to discuss major issues in the freezing industry. The Minister of Labour (Mr Gordon) has agreed to appoint a chairman for this meeting.
