FLAXMILLERS' AWARD.
ACTION FOR ALLEGED
BREACHES
[press association.]
PALMERSTON N., May 13. The Department of Labour has notified Messrs Broad and Reeves, flaxmillers, of its intention io take legal action against them for alleged breaches of the Manawatu flaxmill employees' award in (1) dismissing men because they were entitled to benefits of the award; (2) for breach of the preference clause in taking on non-unionists when unionists were available. The Department also proposes to apply to the Court for an interpretation to test the validity of contracts signed to scutch flax at a lower rate than that provided in the award.
The cases will be heard in the Arbitration Court.
