Mr FT E. Piesse, said yesterday that the ban would continue (n the meantime. •’ “I would not expect an injunction to be issued without the respondent being heard,” he said. As a lawabiding body, the union would pay the law the same regard as did the Govern-
ment. The company’s marketing development manager, Mr David Thornton, said yesterday that part of a report quoting him in “The Press” of Saturday was incorrect. The report had quoted Mr Thornton as saying that freight-forwarding work occupied one man for six hours a week.
Mr Thornton said yesterday' that the work amounted to.’six man-hours a week but was performed by several employees, not one. It was on this basis that the company had been advised by the Labour- Department that the freighforwarding award did not apply, he said.
