Redundancy for 33
Thirty-three workers at the Tekau Knitwear, Ltd, mill in Timaru have been given a month’s notice of redundancy. The company, a subsidiary of WaitakiN.Z. Refrigerating, Ltd, told the workers that the redundancies were necessary because of a decline in the amount of work available. The secretary of the Canterbury Woollen Workers’ Union (Mr D. Shenker) said yesterday that he thought another reason for the redundancies was the New Zealand-Australia Free Trade Agreement.
