Town Council Grants 8 Day Extra Pay to Pirie Workers
Pirie Town Council employees who are Australian Workers Union members will receive one extra day’s pay when their current agreement expires. The rise was approved without opposition, though a request to add Smelters Picnic Day as a paid holiday was refused.
