The decision to hold such a meeting as a protest against the general conditions of the award recently issued by the Arbitration Court was reached by a meeting of 300 carpenters and | joiners on Sunday. At a meeting of; 350 members of the Auckland General. Labourers’ Union at the Trades Hall] to-night it was decided to. associate j with the carpenters and joiners in their protest. A declaration that they considered j the stop-work meeting proposed forj to-morrow by Auckland carpenters and joiners to be unconstitutional and | illegal was made by a meeting of thej Auckland Master Builders’ Associa-i tion. It was decided to have all jobs 1 open for work to-morrow morning. | This means that while the men are, free to attend the stop-work meeting i if they choose, they will lose the time] they take off. The following resolution was carried unanimously, 3 hat the strongest possible protest be made against the action of the Carpenters and Joiners” Union in calling a stopwork meeting to discuss a matter which is solely between the Arbitration Court and the unions. It is considered that the stopywork meeting is distinctly unconstitutional and illegal, and it will simply have the effect o disorganising building business, and affect the public generally at a time/ when delays are very undesirable.
