ACTION CONDEMNED.
UNEMPLOYMENT BOARD AND FREEZING WORKERS.
Per Press Association. HAWERA, Dec. 24. The Patea 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 connnittee referred the request to the Unemployment Board, which ordered their reinstatement. The decision lias aroused adverse comment in Patea and Hawera. Mr A. Christensen, chairman of the 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. E. Campbell, honorary unemployment officer at Hawera, also said 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 ground that it is allowing freezing workers to utilise the unemployment funds ns a strike fund.
