TAIKOO DOCKYARD LABOUR DISPUTE
There were promising developments in the dispute at the Taikoo
Dockyard this afternoon following a visit by the Labour Relations Service
of the Labour Department.
Officers from the Service visited the workers shortly after
lunch and established a dialogue with them. As a result, some of the
workers later met with the management of the dockyard.
A spokesman for the Labour Department said that this is a most
promising turn of events and it is hoped that the discussions between
management and workers will continue and lead to a resumption of work.
The Service had offered assistance to both management and workers
and will continue to keep in close touch with both parties.
