MINISTER: PRAISES FREEZING WORKERS’ UNION
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Full credit was due to the national and district executives of the Freezing Workers’ Union for the stand which the union had taken in refusing to support the _ unconstitutional and wrecking tactics taken by a minority section of the workers. The Minister of Labour, Mr McLagan, stressed this today, commenting on the resumption of work at three Auckland freezing works, where for the last fortnight the killing of sheep and lambs has been suspended following the go-slow tactics adopted by the mutton slaughtermen. The Minister added that it was pleasing to find that the large majority of the freezing workers stood behind their union executive and refused to be drawn into a general stoppage of work in the freezing industry. The way was now clear, he said, for the resumption of ■ negotiations between the parties for a new award.
