Federation policy on job allotment and penalties
The court refused to ender a policy inviting slackness and indecency. There are no notices of output reduction during recent Vars. Evidence shows limited overtime, with workers declining gains from readjustment later. Penalties exist for vigilance officers and interference with management. The award allows employers to exclude from wharves and ships those who refuse or impede foreman duties. The award fixes wages at 2s 6d per hour, covering various cargoes and explosives, with overtime rules and heavy breach penalties. The Waterside Waiters Federation faces penalties up to 100 pounds, and branch officers may be penalised for breaches. The Federation will be held accountable for the act of its members.
