Union unrest in Australia sparks wage debate over productivity
Officials from the Victorian Employers Federation and Chamber of Commerce argued wage rises should reflect productivity, not profitability, warning a profitability metric could favor large firms. Sydney reports forecasted widespread union unrest after government intervention in oil, with pay rises up to 2.40 a week granted for over 8,000 government bus workers. Melbourne prepared for tram and bus driver strikes as disputes over the 2.40 weekly raise grow, affecting tram services and Melbourne’s transit workers.

Hawke attacks PM on wages and inflation risk
ACTU president R J Hawke accuses Prime Minister Gorton of jumping on the wage control bandwagon and links profitability to inflation. He notes the government’s intervention in the oil industry arbitration starts Thursday and says authorities have not curbed price rises. Hawke warns not to weight his inflation warnings until action is taken. The ACTU plans to push for wage rises for 1000 air refinery maintenance workers based on profitability, a concept the arbitration panel has yet to accept.
