Meat Workers’ Union
Sir,—Your Nelsor, reporter’s article (“The Press” April 7), describing the situation surrounding 40 men laid off at the Waitaki-New Zealand Refrigerating Company’s Nelson plant included a statement at the end in which the Nelson union’s president said: “If it had not been for the union, these men would have been in grave financial straits.” What he did not say was that if it had not been for the union the problem would not have arisen in the first place. — Yours, etc., G. STEVEN, Kaiapoi. April 9, 1984.
