Scrutiny of Awards Watch Tightens Negotiation Role

The Trades and Labour Council decided last night to appoint an advocate or executive member to future negotiations on over award agreements. Vice President T J Donnelly said some wage deals by unions had harmed closely allied unions including Electrians Linton Blacksmiths and Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners. The council supported a move for termination proposed by the building trades group. The termination takes effect October 41, two months before the current agreement expires, as parties begin a new deal dated January 1 1965. The August last year agreement covered 9 per day for tradesmen and 76 per day for non tradesmen.
