GESTURE OF MINERS
11-DAY FORTNIGHT
WORK ON HOLIDAYS
(Per Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, this day
A decision to work an 11-day fortnight instead of 10 days as at present, during the busy period while the war lasts, was made by a special meeting of the Nightcaps District Miners’ Union.
The men will work five days in one week and six days in the next. The decision was made at the wish of the Government and the owners. The union also decided to work on the King’s Birthday holiday, Monday, at ordinary rates of pay, the men agreeing to forgo overtime rates for holiday work on that day.
