Offer turned down
Canterbury freight-for-warders voted yesterday to reject a 7 per cent offer from their employers. The employers’ offer was short of the increase of 7.5 to 8.5 per cent sought by the union. A union organiser, Mr Dave Dickison; said he was uncertain what action freight-forwarders would
now take. Freight-forwarders at one Christchurch transport company walked off the job yesterday, but this was believed to be an internal matter not related to the award talks.
About 150 workers in Canterbury are covered by the Freight Forwarders’ Award.
