Industrial Court cuts wages in Bris bane ruling
In Bris bane last week the Industrial Court reduced adult male basic wages from £4 5 to £4 a week and female wages from £2 3 to £2 1 a week. The change applies to all unionists under state awards and takes effect August 1. The judgement notes a downward trend in cost of living and cites factors like productivity and interstate competition. The Crown’s Public Service Commissioner had urged a larger cut, but the court held a smaller reduction necessary and signaled a possible review after October 1. A plan to exempt some workers by sector was mentioned, with further discussion to follow.
