Top level postal talks continue amid pending wage dispute
A two hour meeting at the Prime Minister's Lodge between Prime Minister Gorton and ACTU president Monk aimed to resolve the postal wage deadlock. Attending were Postmaster General Hulde and Labour Minister Bury, with Souler arriving in Canberra to join discussions. A morning session at Parliament House was planned as Monk returned to Melbourne to brief the ACTU executive. If no agreement is reached, additional postal rate changes seem likely. The dispute, dating from December, centers on pay increases for mailvan drivers after the Public Service Board rejected union claims in January and February.
