Union pay demands unsettled
Representatives of the Master Builders and Employers Federations seven building trades unions and the ACT Trades and Labour Council met for 34 hours without resolving demands for a six week over award payment, no absorptions, and for all purposes. TLC secretary Ray Shannessy said a proposal to rationalize had been rejected unless clearer terms emerged, with no recommendation to the THC meeting. At least one stoppage meeting is planned before then. Jock McMahon said carpenters would meet at Lakeside Hotel on Tuesday to discuss Friday’s talks.
