Railway Award Restoration Sought by Union in Melbourne
The Australian Railways Union filed a summons in Melbourne to restore the Federal Arbitration Court award for the railway industry. The Full Arbitration Court set aside the award during national emergency, amid reductions up to 21 percent. The union argues restoration would limit reductions to 10 percent under prior orders. Mr. Chapple of ARC asserts the award had been set aside after substantial relief from a 10 percent cut.
