UNEMPLOYED FUNDS
USED AS STRIKE FUNUS. HAWERA, This Day. The Patca Unemployment Committee was recently asked to reinstate eight men who, having refused to accept work at the freezing works, were struck off the unemployment register. The committee referred the request to the Unemployment Board which ordered their reinstatement. The decision has aroused, adverse comment in Pa tea and Hawera. Mr A. Christensen, chairman of the Patca Committee, said in an interview that the Board’s action called for an explanation. It was absolutely ridiculous the way the Board chopped and changed its policy. Mr J. F. Campbell, honorary unemployment officer for Hawera, also said that an explanation was called for as the decision was contrary to the Board’s circulated regulations.
The Board’s decision was condemned in other quarters on the grounds that it is allowing the freezing workers to utilise the unemployment funds as a stiik e fund. — (P.A.)
