Plea for wage case delay and equal pay principle
The Federal Government asks the Arbitration Commission to postpone six months the national wage case hearing but does not oppose the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. Mr J Keely argues delaying the case could avert runaway inflation if emission is set. ACTU seeks a weekly wage rise and coverage for women under the minimum wage. The hearing continues with discussions on proper value assessments and phased implementation.
