ENGAGING WATERFRONT
LABOUR
(To the Editor.)
Sir—l wish to protest against the Harbour Board's policy of allowing the few to get all the crumbs when employing casual labour on the waterfront to work ships.' On a recent fairly busy day all the board's gangs were absorbed by 9.30 am The Wingatui was the only job to call labour for after that time. Dozens of competent union men had high hopes of getting a share of the crumbs for their young families by getting a job on that ship, but the labour foreman transferred numerous men to work the Wingatm. They had been employed iv many cases since 8 a.m. and had many hours of work to their credit for this pay week already. This goes'on every week.—l am, etc., UNIONIST.
