Cabinet Rejects Trades Hall Request In 48 Hour Debate

The state Cabinet refused the Trades Hall Wisputey Committee request to use government contracts with private firms to bridge the 44 to 48 hour gap. It also declined a second appeal for Cabinet representation to discuss the 48 hour dispute. The minister for labour, J Baddeley, warned the move would signal no confidence in the minister. Prospects for settlement look dim as employers push 48 hours with 44 in a staggered plan before a potential federal court reconstitution. Members of the federal union are expected to strike within days, with little chance of agreement.
