High Court Hears Retrospective Wages Case On Wharf Workers
The High Court heard an arbitration case brought by the Waterside Workers Federation of Australia over whether past wage payments should be extended from the expiration of a 1914 award until a new one takes effect. Justice Higgins indicated the new award should presume ordinary rates and overtime from the award's end, with the court to clarify interim pay obligations during the gap before a fresh award. The hearing involved 279 respondents and debated whether the arbitral power can set backdated or future wages and how to bridge the interim period under the Conciliation and Arbitration Act.
