Waterside Claim for Preference Denied in Arbitration Court
Melbourne’s Arbitration Court refused the Waterside Workers Federation’s bid for preference in employment for its members. His Honor set ordinary working time at 2 shillings per hour, higher than current rates in four states but lower in Queensland. He noted the Transport Workers Act allows shifts by political action, yet the court cannot be swayed by party, and historically has limited union preference where employers discriminated against unionists. The federation may refile if non federation labor is used against unionists.
