‘Smokescreen claim
PA ; Wellington The issue of a union bet’s right to picket is being used, as a .smokescreen to hide the true' nature of. Tuesday’s at Auckland Airport, according to the deputy executive director of thf. Employers’ Federation, Mri’R. Taylor, yesterday. sThei union activity,;, of Tuesday went far beyond the exercise of any freedom to picket,” Mr Taylor said, "picketing should be peaceful and cannot be allowed to interfere with the right of other
individuals to work or carry out their normal business.” The Labour Party’s Shadow Minister of. Industrial Relations, Mr T. iKi Burke, said yesterday that the use of criminal law in industrial matters would only serve to worsen labour relations in New; Zealand. "Peaceful picketing is a union right,” Mr Burke said. "If the Government does not act on this issue, the Labour Party will certainly introduce a private member’s bill this session.”
