Chifley Rebuffs ACTU on Basic Wage Demand
Canberra October 15 Prime Minister J B Chifley rejected ACTU calls for wage variation by regulation or law, saying the basic wage must be set by the full Arbitration Court. After six hours of ministerial and ACTU leaders talks he outlined steps including an amending Arbitration Act, an advisory committee review of wage principles, and safeguards for female minimum rates. The ACTU said talks were exhaustive and cordial, while unions pressed for immediate relaxation of wage pegging amid stoppages in several states.
