Engineering trade hours in dispute at Federal Arbitration Court
The Federal Arbitration Court considers a bid by employers to move the engineering trade to a 48 hour week from 44 hours. Justice Higgins notes Britain and America shifted to 44 hours since 1920, while Australia trends favor 48 hours for most industries including mining and building. Evidence shows some firms already operate 48 hours or half-time pending the decision.
