PS unions' appeal on leave pay is rejected
A Monday decision by the Australian Arbitration Commission denied union appeals against a ruling that cut annual leave pay for more than 240,000 Commonwealth public servants. The Public Service Arbitrator, J. E. Taylor, set a loading of 7.5 percent with a cap tied to average weekly earnings, a rule later supplemented by partial settlements in 1974 1975 and 1976. The bench found no error in the arbitrator's discretion and refused to intervene.
