Waterside pick-up rules spark Adelaide labour dispute
In Adelaide observers interpret new Commonwealth Transport Workers Act clauses as giving Waterside Workers Federation members the right to seek pick-up work as volunteers. Returned soldier volunteers may attend pick-ups at federation yards while overall conditions remain largely unchanged. Notices must appear half an hour prior and an announcement issued after pick-ups end. Private-property access is allowed for eligible workers, with penalties for obstruction. Today waterside workers outnumber volunteers, filling eight gangs aboard the Bara dine, about 412 men.
