Relativity hearing
PA Auckland Final submissions have been made in Auckland to a Government-appointed committee investigating the pay relativity of power board workers throughout New Zealand. The three-man inquiry has been sitting for four months and has accumulated about 5000 pages of evidence during its hearings into the margins of skill and responsibility of power board officers and electrical workers. It was appointed by the
Minister of Labour (Mr Bolger), after strikes by senior power board officers represented by the Northern Local Government Officers’ Union in April this year. The issue then, and during the hearings, was the assertion of an erosion of margins between the officers as a result of pay gains won by electrical workers. Mr Keith Goddard represented the employers, the Electrical Supply Authorities Association, and Mr John Bufton, the industrial conciliator.
