Rangiora club stands by its decision
The executive of the Rangiora Returned Services Association last evening approved of its club committee’s dispensing with the services of its house manageress. Mr D. Sheehan, chairman, of the Rangiora R.S.A., said last evening that under the rules of the association, the committee was empowered to dismiss the manageress, Miss Carrie Crack. Mr Sheehan said reasons were given to both Miss Crack and a representative of the Canterbury Hotel, Restaurant, and Club Workers’ Union regarding the dismissal, but both parties would not accept them. The club committee said that Miss Crack had failed to carry out the wishes and directives of the committee and that the club had
received an adverse Health Department report of its bar facilities. The dismissal led to a strike by the club's other workers and a picket line outside the building since last week. Support for the strikers by the Canterbury Trades Council has isolated the club from its normal services, but Mr Sheehan said that over the last five days the club had functioned normally. Several members of the committee which unanimously approved the dismissal of the manageress have resigned from the committee and these resignations have been accepted by the executive. A circular asking for a special meeting to review the case has been signed by 26 of more than 700 members.
