Storekeepers in Parkes oppose the Government ban on rationing though they acknowledge the impact on staff. Some anticipate dismissals as many as 61 workers may be affected, though actual figures may be lower. The shift back to a 44 hour week would raise wage cuts for some while others prefer smaller pay to keep all staff. Managers note weekly rationing caused uneven shifts and warn of disruption if a full ban persists.
