YOU GET the feeling the<br />
dispute between the port<br />
workers and their bosses is going<br />
to heat up.<br />
Striking workers and union<br />
officials met yesterday (see page<br />
1) as they discussed tactics and<br />
other matters.<br />
Union organiser John Kerr<br />
could clearly be heard saying:<br />
“We’re not going to cock this up,<br />
we’re going to win.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> tactic of dropping leaflets<br />
in the streets where the port<br />
company’s directors live is an<br />
interesting one.<br />
Said Kerr: “We don’t go on<br />
strike at the drop of a hat. We’ve<br />
been pushed into it, this is the<br />
first time in 14 years,” he said.<br />
On the other side of the fence<br />
the port company looks determined<br />
not to meet the union’s<br />
demands.<br />
Its operations manager Paul<br />
Monk said the Railway and<br />
Maritime Transport Union is<br />
asking for an “unfair” advantage<br />
over the other major port union,<br />
Maritime Union of New Zealand.<br />
It won’t be like 1951 but the<br />
pot is starting to boil.<br />

chemistry had been the college’s<br />
first appointment in 1874. <strong>The</strong><br />
reason for his sacking was presumed<br />
to have been his socialist<br />
