Started Work at Kaiwharawhara.

Monday, February 7, 2.30 pm, Place: Kaiwharawhara.

Four students told no more work available and to pick up pay at 3.30 pm. Action. Strong protest to management who then strongly denied assurance of definite period of work: furthermore stated students would get no redundancy pay, no holiday pay and that management could give one hour's notice if they felt like it. Then asked students if they would be willing to come back on Saturday 12 Febuary and help in the stocktaking. Three acidly refused. Surprisingly I agreed.

Management told by three that further action would be contemplated. In a belated attempt to pacify students, management tries by pretending to look up a name in the phone book which needlessly they did not find — to find students employment elsewhere.

Addtionally all other students told unofficially they would have to go after they had done the stocktaking for Cable Price.
