Hospital row in N.S.W. unsettled
NZPA-AAP Sydney Talks today between the New South Wales Industrial Relations Minister, Pat Hills, health unions and hospital administrators are unlikely to avert the reimposition of work bans by hospital workers tomorrow. The meeting will discuss offsets needed for the introduction of a 38-hour week for the state’s hospital workers. The Health and Research Employees’ Association’s N.S.W. secretary, Ray Cook, was not optimistic of the outcome.
He said it would take a guarantee from the Government for a starting date for the shorter week to avert the threatened work limitations, which are to include bans on the handling or soiled linen. Those bans would come into force at about 80 N.S.VV. hospitals and institutions from tomorrow.
“Our members would want something definite if we went back and asked them to lift their bans,” Mr Cook said yesterday.
