WA barmaids seek equal pay after 10 percent boost
In Western Australia the barmaids union failed to secure equal pay with barmen despite a long history of parity. A 10 percent extra pay given to barmen sparked the latest push. Industrial Commissioner R. Kelly rejected the bid, noting past principles but leaving room for new applications. A stopwork meeting drew about 600 attendees and the AHA set a 56 a week wage for both groups, with middy beer prices rising by 1 to 2 pence.
