Support for Patea works
The Meat Workers' Union has thrown its weight behind moves to keep open the Patea freezing works. The news last month that the works would close, making 800 people redundant, stunned the town of Patea. An emergency committee was set up by the town’s Mayor, Mr N. A. Mac Kay, to fight, to keep the works open and save the town. The secretary of the Meat Workers’ Union, Mr A. J. Kennedy, said after a meeting of the union’s national management committee in Christchurch yesterday that the union would give its full support to the committee in its bid to influence decisions on the works' future.
