WELLINGTON BAKERS
Workers Decide To Limit Hours (P.A.) WELLINGTON, December 18. A well attended meeting of Wellington bakers and others, who are members of the Baking Trades Employees’ Union, decided on Saturday night that: “because of the failure of master bakers to pay wages based on a 40hour week as required by a recent judgment of the Appeal Court relative to the extension of hours provided for in the Factories Amendment Act, 1936, it is resolved that all members of the Wellington Branch of the New Zealand Baking Trades Employees’ Industrial Union of Workers will, beginning on Monday, December 25, refuse to work more than eight hours daily or more than 40 hours in any one week.”
