Court case over rolling stoppage
The first prosecution against the Meat Workers’ Union arising from complaints about rolling stopKin May will be in the District Court at Wanganui on August 24. The Labour Department would bring the prosecution
at Wanganui and seven others in other district courts under section 125 of the Industrial Relations Act, which provides for fines if a breach is found of the requirement that three days •notice be given of any strike in the meat freezing industry.
The secretary of the union, Mr A. J. Kennedy, said in Christchurch last evening that the prosecutions would be defended.
The prosecutions arise from complaints lodged with the department by the Christchurch-based company, Waitaki N.Z. Refrigerating, Ltd, which owns nine freezing works.
