SATURDAY WORK REFUSED
QUARRY EMPLOYEES IN AUCKLAND. (United Press Association.) Auckland, September 17. Maintaining that the provisions of the Factories Act apply to them, quarry workers in Auckland, who are members of the union, have decided to refuse Saturday work from next Saturday. This decision was reached at a meeting last night. About 150 men are involved.
The secretary (Mr T. Stanley) said to-day that the decision was reached after the union had received “unsatisfactory and conflicting statements from the Minister of Labour (the Hon. H. T. Armstrong) and the Labour Department in Auckland on the interpretation of the Factories Act.”
