HOSPITAL BOARD CARPENTERS
APPLICATION TO WAGES COMMISSIONER
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, March 16. Subject to the consent of the Wages Commissioner, the Auckland Hospital Board’s carpenters will be paid an increase of ljd an hour on their present wage rates. This decision was made by the board last night, on the recommendation of its finance committee, which advised the board that, as the Master Builders’ Association had abandoned its resistance to the carpenters’ demands, the board found itself in the position of having no option but to pay -the increase, in conformity with the general practice of employers. At its meeting on February 23 the board received a letter from its carcenters asking for an extra lid an hour. The letter stated that after the meeting of the union on February,27 the board’s carpenters were bound to adopt the resolution passed there.
