Fuel dispute carries on
PA Auckland An industrial dispute which has cut the fuel supplies to Caltex Oil (New Zealand), Ltd, service stations, was still unresolved yesterday, after a meeting of the parties before the Auckland Industrial Conciliator (Mr F. M. Qerbic). The dispute arose when, during an Auckland Storemen and Packers* Union
stop work meeting on Thursday, company executives turned on fuel depot valves which are normally controlled by storemen. Caltex tanker drivers refused to deliver fuel turned on by the executive staff, and Caltex stations have been without deliveries since Thursday. The union asked the company at yesterday’s meeting to agree not to open the oil installation valves until the
I 'wages dispute was settled «t another meeting between t> union and the oil companies next week. At the end of today’s meeting no satisfactory answer had been received to thp union request, and the corf ciliation talks were adjourned. The parties were believed last night to be poised to reconvene the hearing, whek a further reply from the oQ companies has been received.
