Arbitration Court Refuses Penalty On Entry Refusal Case
Judge Piper ruled in Melbourne that the Australian Saddlery and Leather Employer Federation failed to prove that Perc Myers, secretary of the Federation, was exercising a right of entry at the proper noon hour. The decision cited past conduct by Myers as causing disaffection but found it insufficient to support a penalty for the alleged refusal to admit an accredited officer to the establishment. The judge warned the Federation to strictly follow the award in future or face a possible entry refusal.
