Discord at Air N.Z.
NZPA / Auckland Air New Zealand clerical staff handling cargo documents are believed to be planning a work-to-rule and 14 days-notice of a strike. The airline had received no official notification yesterday, and a Clerical Workers’ Union spokeswoman declined to comment on the dispute, saying it might jeopardise discussions. Air New Zealand’s industrial relations manager (Mr H. de Silva) said the dispute was about plans to relocate certain staff in other positions. He believed the effects of a work-to-rule would be minimal. A compulsory conference over a dispute involving technical storemen at Mangere Airport continued yesterday, with the men back on the job. A third dispute that threatened to disrupt air services in New Zealand has been settled after talks between the parties. ■ The dispute was between aircraft refuellers and the oil industry over claims for a location allowance. The talks were held in. Wellington, after the Engineers’ Union, on behalf of the refuellers, served 14 days notice of industrial action on the employers.
