Out of Reports and into the World
Anyway, once all the reports had [unclear: been] given, the meeting moved onto [unclear: gafif] business, and Grant Gillat moved a [unclear: mapo] calling on VUWSA to condemn [unclear: J41] Remuneration Act and to recognise it as a attempt to control wages and depress [unclear: litio] standards. The motion also said that [unclear: the] SRC direct the National Affairs Officer [unclear: I] initiate a campaign against the Act and [unclear: a] part of it to invite a representative from [unclear: the] Trades Council to speak at a forum.
Grant said that the Act "put [unclear: more] control in the hands of the Government [unclear: f] industrial disputes" and that the [unclear: whol] thing was "an attack on the [unclear: negotiate] rights on unions".
Seconder Tim Rochford said that [unclear: dl] campaign would be mainly an [unclear: educid] one, so it wouldn't cost a lot. He then [unclear: fl] on to urge students to make sure they [unclear: join] unions when (of if?) they got a job [unclear: duf] the summer vacation. After Paul [unclear: Nor] (who else?) had inflicted everybody [unclear: one] again with the sound of his own voice, [unclear: the] motion was passed unanimously.
