INCREASED WAGES
City Council Employees
A wage increase for city council employees was approved last evening.
The council followed the Government in salary and wage adjustments, said the awards committee in recommending that Public Service increases be passed on to council staff, retrospective to August 1, 1963. Excepted from the increases were the gardeners and labourers, who are at present negotiating an industrial agreement, and traffic officers. The committee said an alternative proposal was being put to the traffic officers.
If general wage orders were continually sought and continually granted, the council had a duty to see that it did not match Government rates of pay and then superimpose <ome general wage order, said Cr. H. P. Smith, chairman of the awards committee.
This would be guarded against when the increases were conveyed to employees’ representatives.
