Wharf Work in Port Port Pirie Arbritration Ask for Equal Distribution
Melbourne. On behalf of the Watersite Workers Federation Mr A B Torley general secretary applied to Judge Beeby in the Arbitration Court for a variation of the award to secure a more even distribution of work among federation members at Port Pirie. Torley said a favored section earned more than the basic wage for waterskiers while the majority had few opportunities to earn a living and slack seasons left some unemployed. A proposal before the Board of Reference aimed to reach a solution. Judge Beeby said distribution of work means dividing work among those reasonably necessary for the port and the court was eager to help. He adjourned the matter to tomorrow to read the evidence before the Board.
