“EMERGENCY CASUALS.”
RAILWAYMEN RECEIVE NOTICE. By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, August 11. All casual hands, 73 in number, employed in the Auckland inward and outward railway goods sheds received notice to-day that they would no longer be treated as “permanent casuals” with a guarantee of 48 hours’ work weekly, but would be placed on the lisi of “Emergency casuals,” and called upon when required. The men receive a wage of Is lOd an hour, and a guarantee has assure H them a wage of £4 8s a week. The effort of the notice will be to institute a system of short time under which presumably all will be treated alike. The alternative would have been to discharge say 20 of the men.
