Senate vote keeps Wage Stabilization Board core setup
The Senate voted to retain the Wage Stabilization Board with labor, industry and public members subject to confirmation and limited powers in wage disputes.

The measure preserves mediation steps, requiring agreement before submission, and contrasts with earlier moves to retain the board’s dispute handling. Prior actions included rejecting a proposal to keep the board’s dispute powers while preserving member composition. Closing stock averages were reported alongside market data.
