Maltese Cutters Industrial Dispute At South Johnstone
In a NSW industrial hearing, Mr Justice Webb heard arguments from Mr Janice Web and others for Gilbert Francis Hudson and the Canegrowers' Council over cane cutter employment. The case addressed a 1928 agreement restricting cane cutter work to 70 percent including Maltese labor, claimed void, with farmers arguing awards allow employer choice. Judges noted unionists could be employed by farmers under the award, focusing on an industrial matter rather than union status. The Board reserved a final ruling, indicating no broad exclusion of Maltese cutters and no outside indiction on who may be hired.
