NEW AWARD MADE
BAKERS AND PASTRYCOOKS
The Arbitration Court has made a new award for the Auckland (country districts) bakere and pastrycooks and their labourers. Formerly the trade was. covered by one award for the whole of the northern industrial district, but now there are two separate awards, one for town and one for country.
A 46-hour working week is provided for bakehouse workers. Minimum rates of wages are fixed at £4 17/0 for foremen bakers or pastrycooks, £4 7/0 for journeymen bakers or pastrycooks, and -£3 15/ for bakehouse labourers. Journeymen jobbem am to receive 10/ a day, and labourer jobbers 13/0 a day. Wages of junior labourers range from £1 17/0 to £2 15/, and of female apprentices from 15/ to £2 5/. Female journeywomen are to receive not less than £2 18/4.
Wages and other details were agreed upon in Conciliation Council. Matters relating to hours, classification of workers and holidays, which were in dispute, have been settled by a majority of the Court on the lines of recent awards made in Canterbury and Wellington.
Mr. A. L. Monteith, the union's assessor, dissented on the ground that this award contains both a long-hour clause and a low wage-rate clause.
