ACTU accepts wage indexation if commission agrees
Hawke told the ACTU conference in Canberra that the ACTU would accept the government’s wage indexation view if the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission found the government argument more compelling. He urged speeding hearings and warned the economy could not wait until next year for a decision. The government favors quarterly cost of living adjustments for those below average earnings, while ACTU and ACSPA want a uniform percentage index for all workers. He said unemployment is rising and political risks loom, dismissing scapegoat claims against unions as simplistic.
