Shop Assistants Seek Increases From Union Hearing
Claims by the Shop Assistants' Union will be heard by Commissioner G A Findlay in Canberra on Thursday. The union seeks wage margins of 3 a week for male and female staff, a 1 a week di allowance for workers 19 and over, a five-day week, three weeks annual leave and long service leave. The Employers' Association countered with a log challenging the provision that females in grocers' shops receive the male rate and wanted a broader spread of hours for motor selling.
