N.Z. WORKERS’ UNION.
ADOPTS 0.8. U. SCHEME. MEMBERSHIP INCREASE EXPECTED. WELLINGTON, January 17. The New Zealand Workers’ Union, the membership of which is approximately 22,000, has decided to adopt the one big union scheme, which was formulated at a conference of representatives of the New Zealand Workers’ Union aud the Australian Workers’ Union early last year. This means that the N.Z.W.U. has become part and parcel of the Australian organisation, the name of which is now the Australasian Workers’ Union, with a membership of about 700,000. Although affiliated with the A.W.U., the New Zealand union will retain full autonomy over its own affairs. It is expected there will be a big accretion to membership this year. A conference will be held at Sydney on January 27, at which New Zealand will be repre seated.
