Railway wage award grants pay rise and 40 hour week
Mr Justice Kellock awarded rail workers an extra three cents per hour for most striking employees, plus a five day forty hour week with pay for June 1. About 122,000 workers gain to seven cents an hour total after the prior four cent raise. The hotel and water transport group gets no extra pay beyond four cents and a one year contract. Railways foresee higher costs and seek freight boosts amid the settlement. The decision leaves union dues check-off unresolved.
