TIMBER WORKERS’ AWARD
INCREASED WAGES PROPOSED JOINT APPLICATION TO COURT (P.A.) WELLINGTON, September 20. A decision to apply jointly to the Court of Arbitration for an amendment of timber workers’ awards by the insertion of a clause covering workers in indigenous bush sawmills and bush workings was made at a conference of employers and workers to-day. Represented at the conference were the New Zealand Timber Industry Industrial Union of Employers, the New Zealand Timber Workers’ Union, and the Westland Timber Workers’ Union. The clause will give an increase of 2jd an hour to bushworkers, and lid an hour to all other workers in bush sawmills. “This is the outcome of many months of discussion between the two national organisations on ways of attracting workers to country employment,” said the national secretary of the Timber Workers' Union (Mr F. Craig) to-night. “It is hoped that it will result in stimulating limber production.” __________
