Market garden wages
(N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON. New regulations covering pay and conditions of market garden workers have been gazetted by the Government. New rates of wages for a 40-hour week are back-dated to July 1, 1973, and provision is made for three weeks’ annual holiday after two years’ service. The regulations prescribe adult female rates as 80 per cent of adult male rates. They also change the definition of “harvesting” to include all operations from picking or cutting until the produce is prepared for despatch from the employer’s production unit.
