F.O.L. ban on Mogal Corp?
The executive of the Federation of Labour discussed the Waimairi rubbish dispute yesterday but has not recommended . any immediate industrial action.
Instead, the president of the Canterbury Trades Council, Mr W. R. Cameron, who is a member of the executive, returned to Christchurch last evening and will consult*® Trades Council officials and the Labourers’ Union before reporting back to the F.O.L. It is believed that the F.O.L. executive has recommended action which it will refer to the unions directly involved before going ahead with it, but no details were available yesterday. One course of action might be a black ban on the Mogal Corporation, the parent company of Mogal. Bin Services, the County Council’s contractor which. yesterday continued to collect the county's rubbish.
Pickets were mounted at the council’s dump in Sawyers Arms Road yesterday, but the picketers did not try to stop the Mogal truck. A council spokesman said that because of the big volume of rubbish that had to be collected yesterday, the Mogal truck would continue Tuesday’s round today before starting the Wednesday round.
It would also complete its commercial rubbishh collection today.
