No wage order date
Parliamentary reporter April 1 cannot be regarded as a firm date for a general wage order, according to the Minister of Labour, Mr Bolger. The Federation of Labour and the Combined State Unions have sought a general wage order on April 1, after overturning their earlier decision to have a round of wage negotiations. However, Mr Bolger told
“The Press” yesterday that April 1 had not been agreed as the date for a general wage order. He said the Government had offered April 1 as the date for a general wage order before Christmas. ‘But time has passed. We are not going to meet until March 14, the middle of the month. So no, I could not be at all firm ds what the date might be,” he said.
