RAILWAY RESTAURANTS
PAY REVISED TO EQUAL AWARD RATES CHRISTCHURCH, April. 24. The Minjster of Railways (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) stated to-day that arrangements had been made which will materially improve the position of employees in the. railway_ refreshment branch. It. has been decided to make the revised rates of pay retrospective to December 21, 1936, and any adjustments consequent upon the declaration of the basic wage will be operative as from November 2, 1936. “ The . effect of the charges decided upon,” Mr Sullivan said, ‘‘is, in general, to bring the pay and allowances of the railway refreshment branch employees into line, as far as practicable, with the provisions of the New Zealand tea rooms and restaurant workers’ award. In those instances wher© the Railway Department’s 1931 rates of pay exceed the _ award rate the 1931 rate will be retained. Bookstall assistants will continue to be employed under the same conditions as to pay and allowances as waitresses.” -
