Another meeting at Longburn works
PA Palmerston North
Longburn freezing works management and members of the Meat Workers’ Union West Coast (North Island) branch will meet today in an attempt to sort out a permanent working agreement for the killing season. A temporary agreement on Wednesday allowed about 3000 milk lambs to be slaughtered. But by yesterday the meat works were
.again at a standstill.
The union claims that members have been locked out, but the company maintains that restrictive practices were being used and that workers are on strike. The killing season began with a freezerhand lock-out after they refused to accept a new wage agreement. A. Longburn shed official, Mr David Huria, said that workers wanted to get back to work as soon as possible.
