Sunday drinking supported
The Canterbury Hotel Workers’ Union is supporting the Hotel Association’s moves to bring about extended Sunday trading. Mr Graham Harding, the union’s secretary, said yesterday that “unfair” competition from sports clubs had helped seriously to depress the hotel trade. The competition was unfair because sports clubs did not have to pay staff or the same taxes and were not required to meet the same health standards as hotels and taverns.
In order to protect its members’ jobs the union wanted to see hotels have the opportunity at least to compete on Sundays. There was no problem so far as pay and conditions were concerned, said Mr Harding. Some 40 per cent of hotel workers already worked on Sundays in house bars and family bars and the like.
