The commission reports a 1969-70 pattern of growth with stronger industrial output, rising employment, and easing rural sectors, while inflationary pressures and wage dynamics loom. It notes that 1970-71 could bring continued expansion but warns against unchecked price rises and urges careful wage policy interactions.
The commission reviewed six August and September 1970 applications seeking increases under the Public Service Act. It found increases of up to 16 percent for adult employees in the Meat Industry and related trades, with across the board adjustments reflecting union negotiatons and wage scales. The determinations imply broader implications for national wages and overtime, noting how a 1 percent rise in award wages could raise total wages across sectors.
