Applications for wage increases in North Queensland
Applications for wage increases were heard in the State Industrial Court at Cairns. Hundreds of workers including silo, peanut board, shop, and carter staff sought higher rates. The Australian Workers' Union pressed for junior rate boosts and for insertion in awards. Mr. T. E. Dwyer reserved decision. The union's case covered unskilled and semi skilled workers across multiple trades, with about 300 employees tied to the award. The hearing also noted regional divisions and proposed changes to the Southern Division award governing these wages.
