Union call for love’
A Canterbury trade union executive has sent a telegram to the Minister of Labour (Mr Gordon) saying that love is a better prospect for industrial harmony than fear. The telegram from the executive of the Canterbury Rubber Workers Union, said that the union was concerned about the “harmful attitudes and conflict which will surely develop if the National Party policy, as indicated by the Prime Minister, is written in to industrial legislation. “Suggest reappraisal would have merit and love not fear a better prospect for co-operation,” said the telegram.
The secretary of the Canterbury Trades Council (Mr Frank McNulty) said that if the New Zealand tre.de unions requested it, trade unions in other countries would impose trade boycotts or other measures in opposition to “anti-trade union legislation.”
