Shearing Rates Proposed At Australian Workers Union Meet
A Sydney convention of the Australian Workers Union considers wage proposals for shearers at 30 pounds per 100 sheep with double rates for rams and stud sheep. Shed hands may receive a weekly wage with keep, and a four two hour shifts daily plan is discussed. Wet weather pay guarantees and travel allowances for roustabouts are proposed, with cooks and assistants to get double time on holidays and a move away from written agreements toward verbal ones.
