The closing will be progressive, with effect from the end of June, and new vehicle manufacture will cease towards the end of July; the factory closing by early August. . The staff were informed 'yesterday. The company said everyone would be inter-
viewed to see if a suitable alternative job could be offered in Palmerston North. The company’s director of South Island operations, Mr A. H. Emslie, said the unions involved had been informed and all staff would receive redundancy payments on an agreed basis. He said he hoped many of the staff could be offered jobs in the company’s main factory in Palmerston North. Earlier this year, workers at the Dunedin, factory struck for three weeks during negotiations for redundancy terms. Mr Emslie said then that the future of the company was uncertain.
