WORK DECLARED “BLACK”
Plasterers’- Union In
Wellington
WIRE NETTING ERECTED BY CARPENTERS (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, November 24. The job of reconstructing the Albion Hotel in Courtenay Place, which was damaged by fire some months ago, has been declared “black” by members of the Plasterers’ Union because the wire netting to hold the plaster was erected by members of the Carpenters’ Union. The plasterers claim that only members of their union are entitled to carry out this work. , It appears that no plasterers have been engaged on this job and none was available. The sub-contractor states that a fortnight before the job was started he applied for two plasterers, but there was none available. When he actually wanted the men he did not make a fresh application, because he knew the position was unchanged.
