Sunday trading fears
PA New Plymouth Increased retailing activity by service stations and moves towards Sunday trading are worrying the New Zealand Shop Employees’ Association. The association, on the final day of its conference in New Plymouth, decided to oppose Sunday trading and called for tighter enforcement of legislation covering week-end trading. It will discuss its policy on Sunday trading with members during a round of stop-
work meetings beginning on May 1. The Labour Department will be asked to police more tightly legislation covering week-end trading, and the association will seek to have the law amended to limit the range of goods and services offered by shops trading as dairy-mixed businesses. The association will also approach the Engineers’ Union and the Motor Trade Association to express their concern about the spread of retailing activities by service stations.
