Hospital dispute
Laundry workers at Templeton and Sunnyside Hospitals will meet soon to decide whether to stop working' with hospital patients in the laundries. The secretary of the Laun-' dry Workers’ Union (Mrs H. j Jones) said that the workers! were angry that patients | were doing jobs which could! ;be done by full-time staff. In a letter to the union, the deputy chief executive of the North Canterbury Hospital Board (Mr G. W. Davies) said that the medi-1 cal superintendents of both■ hospitals considered that the' work done by the patients 'was. a useful part of their 'treatment. Mr Davies said the board! considered that patient! labour should continue until! a new laundry was com-' pleted at Sunnyside in about three years.
