Which Are More Militant?
WELLINGTON, October 18. The claim that New Zealand unions were more militant than their Australian counterparts was made, during a hearing of a banking dispute before the Conciliation Commissioner (Mr S. Ritchie). In reply to a statement made by the employees’ advocate (Mr C. A. R. Brunt)* that an appeal board for banking employees had worked satisfactorily in Australia for several years, Mr W. J. Mountjoy, the employers’ advocate, said that they might not have such militant unions in Australia as they, had in New Zealand. “That will cause a laugh”, said Mr Brunt. “Unions do not interfere in so many trades and callings in Australia as they do here”, said Mr Mount joy.
