Rangatira’s loss blamed on unions
PA Wellington The inter-island ferry Rangatira was being withdrawn because the Cooks and Stewards' Union had priced its members out of a job, the Prime Minister (Mr Muldoon) said yesterday. Mr Muldoon was speaking during the second reading debate on the Finance Bill, which validates Government expenditure. In a strong attack on the trade union movement. Mr Muldoon said that unionists were still fighting battles that had been won 40 years ago. He said the old cliche that trade unionists never forgot and never learned still applied. •If they were to get their way, it would be impossible for the economy of this country to run in the way in which we want It” He said the Government was going to govern. 'We are not going to let the Toby Hills and the cooks and stewards run New Zealand."
