ACT unions clash over Canberra picnic holiday change
Employers and unions argued at the ACT industrial court over moving Canberra’s annual union picnic holiday from March to August. An employers’ rep said the date causes confusion and disrupts commerce, while union officials argued the shift affects about 10,000 members and rival interests. The hearing drew eight employer bodies and 24 unions with many spectators in the gallery.
