Forest service staff angry
Greymouth reporter Forest Service staff left a meeting with the State Services Commission in Hokitika on Friday feeling angry and frustrated at having been “flannelled,” according to a P.S.A. representative, Mr Gus Buckley. About 130 Westland conservancy staff attended the meeting with a commissioner, Mr Don Hunn. The implications of the
Blakeley forestry report and matters such as whether the Forestry Corporation would in fact be established on the West Coast had clouded the issue of determining final numbers. The association was vitally concerned about potential job losses and losses of working conditions and standards. Mr Buckley said that any nationally proposed industrial action would be overwhelmingly supported by Westland employees.
