TV sound men return
PA Wellington The television sound operators’ dispute was settled late yesterday thus avoiding cuts’ in coverage of the Labour Party conference, and ending disruption to television news. The Public Service Association and Broadcasting Corporation management met for more than four hours yesterday to solve the four-month-old dispute. Sound operators lifted the overtime ban which had cut TVl’s main weekend news bulletins, at 6.30 p.m., half of each night’s regional news programme, week-end sports coverage, and each night’s “News at 10.”
The dispute involved sound operators’ dissatisfaction with their transla-' tion to the recentlynegotiated award, which they said cost them relativity. The P.S.A. said last evening it could not give full details, but the dispute had been settled “on an agreed basis.” Sound operators returned to work at 4 p.m. yesterday, and television news resumed normal transmission last evening.
