P.D.L. strike still on
The strike at P.D.L. Industries, which began last Friday, continued yesterday with no signs of immediate settlement.
The 185 workers, most of whom are members of the Canterbury branch of the Engineers’ Union, went on strike in protest against the dismissal of a union delegate. The company hopes to meet the union this week under the chairmanship of a
Labour Department conciliator, but no date had been fixed yesterday. P.D.L. is also still trying to arrange for the shipment of two containers of Torro toys from its West Coast factory for a $60,000 export order to the Netherlands. The Railways dispute last week prevented the dispatch of containers to the Coast, and time is running out for the company to connect with available shipping.
