‘Not unexpected’
PA Dunedin One of the men directly affected by the Industrial Court’s decision, Mr A. J. Kennedy, said in Dunedin yesterday that the decision was not unexpected, in view of the time taken to settle the matter. Mr Kennedy predicted that if new nominations were called for the post of national secretary of theMeat Workers’ Union, a third candidate, in addition to himself and Mr McNulty, would be put up “to split the vote.” He did not ex-
pect to win such a vote, he said. Even if the election was again a straight run between himself and Mr McNulty, he doubted whether he could win it. “It would be very difficult to dislodge Mr McNulty now,” Mr Kennedy said. However, if all members in the 22,000-strong union were fully informed about all matters connected with the union and the elections, he believed he would win the election by a greater majority.
