The Labour Department is bringing prosecutions against 192 workers under ithe Industrial Relations Act. ! The slaughtermen’s walk|out caused the wasting of 500 carcases. A Court spokesman said ! yesterday that about 35 summonses had been returned not served. They were being sent out for personal service. Initially, the charges were to have been heard by the Industrial Court.
