WORK NOT WANTED
UNLOADING OF SHIP NO UNIONISTS OFFER PORT WHANGAREI INCIDENT Cargo operations on the motor-ship Port Whangarei, which had been delayed for 24 hours owing to trouble with the waterside workers, were resumed yesterday morning. The unloading of the vessel commenced at S a.m. on Monday with all non-union men, because no members of the Waterside Workers' Union were available. At 10..% a.m. the men refused to continue working because they objected to four men who were employed with them. Afterwards the discharging of the vessel was suspended for the day, no attempt being made to obtain other labour A call for labour to continue unloading the Port Whangarei was made at 8 a.m. yesterday and, although there were a large number of members of the Waterside Workers' Lnion unemployed, none offered for engagement. After a second call was made at 10 a.m. with a similar result the non-unionists who stopped working on Monday were re-engaged, with the exception of the four men objected to and who refrained from offering for engagement. Afterwards the unloading of the Port Whangarei was continued without interruption.
