HOURS ON WATERFRONT
11-HOUR SHIFTS ARE TOO LONG FARMERS’ INION SUGGESTS THREE OF EIGHT (Press Assn.) Wellington July 18. The question of hours of work on the ’waterfront was the subject of a remit tabled at the annual conference of the New Zealand Farmers Union to-day. The remit, which was moved by Hawke’s Bay and referred to the Dominion Executive for investigation, and. if necessary, action, read as follows: ... “That the conference notes with surprise that waterfront workers are asked to work a day shift of 11 hours, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m, and points out that, from practical knowledge, eight hours’ hard work is as much as any man should be asked to do. We support the attitude that three shifts should work eight, hours each.”
