Port Pirie Miners Push for Higher Wages and Union Recognition
A Port Pirie branch of the Amalgamated Miners Association gathers with about 35 members to press wage demands ahead of the current contract expiry with Broken Hill Proprietary Company. They seek minimum wage increases to 9 shillings, up from 6 shillings 3d, a 48 hour week, overtime at time and a half, and two to four hours paid for days banked off. Delegates plan to send resolutions to the Barrier Branch for Arbitration Court referral, with possible top-floor work concessions and union recognition.
