AWARD AMENDED
~ ENGINEERING APPRENTICES. An amendment to the Engineering, Metalworking and Motor Trades Apprenticeship Order has been announced by the Court of Arbitration, Westland Industrial District. Those affected will be apprentice engineers, motor mechanics, pattern makers, boilermakers, blacksmiths and moulders. The new clause reads: “The minimum weekly rates of wages payable to apprentices shall be the undermentioned percentages of the nominal weekly rate of wages for journeymen, or of an amount equal to 40 times the nominal hourly rate of wages for journeymen, as the case may be, in the branch of the industry to which the apprentice is apprenticed, as prescribed by the award or agreement relating to the employment of journeymen in force from time to time in the locality.” For the first six months an apprentice will receive 23 per cent of a journeyman’s wage, that is, £l/10/10, a week gross. This increases in 6 per cent increments every six months until the tenth six-monthly period when the apprentice is receiving 77 per cent, or £4/19/10 weekly.
