Court action over ban?
“The Press” newspaper’s Timaru reporter, Mr D. W. Hodge, says he will take the New Zealand Journalists’ Union to court over the ban on his work. Mr Hodge said last evening that he intended lodging an application in the Arbitration Court seeking the removal by “The Press” journalists’ chapel of the ban on his work.
He had written to his solicitors seeking advice on the implications of such action, and expected to hear from them within a few weeks. “I want a removal of the ban and, in accepting a decision of the court I should also resolve this illegal, closed-shop policy of the union,” said Mr Hodge.
