PAYMENT-BY-RESULTS WAGE SCHEME
BRITISH TRIBUNAL NOT AGREEABLE
LONDON, Oct. 24
The National Arbitration Tribunal has told the Master Ladies’ Tailors’ Organisation, which employs 20,000 garment workers, to drop its pay-ment-by-results wage scheme. The Tailors’ Organisation had asked the Garment Workers’ Union to accept a scheme for a basic wage of £8 a week, plus a bonus for achieving output targets. Skilled tailoring workers had been receiving about £ls a week, but the employers said they were not giving value for their pay. The employers maintained thgt, under their payment-by-results plan, efficient workers would still earn the existing high rates, and only the slackers would be cut down.
