Waterside Award Hearing in Brisbane
In Brisbane Judge Becky hears the Owners' Association apply for a variation of the Waterside Workers' Award. The application seeks a 44d per hour pay reduction reflecting lower costs, with support from Overseas Shipping Representatives and Commonwealth Steamship Owners' associations. The Waterside Workers' Federation and Joint Committee officials oppose some changes, including meal breaks and smoke-off time, arguing past practice and wage trends. The hearing covers quarterly adjustments, Cooktown preference deletion, and a push to align Queensland with other states amid nationwide wage downward trends.
