WAGE ORDER CLAIMS
F.O.L Move For Changes
(N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Aug. 23. The national council of the Federation of Labour today decided to again seek alterations to the Economic Stabilisation Regulations governing general wage orders.
The president (Mr F. P. Walsh) said the council considered the regulation governing the weighting to be given to productivity rises did not go far enough. "The council decided that the Arbitration Court should be required to give a specific rise based on the proved rise in productivity,” he said.
The federation will also seek to have the application of general orders effective from the date of the opening of the hearing of a case in order to avoid what it considers to have been ‘‘delaying tactics” by some organisations in the past. A previous attempt to have the regulations amended in this way failed.
