Clerical Workers Dissatisfied With Award
(Per PreL'i Association, Copyright .l WELLINGTON, This Day. The contention that the Second Court of ’Arbitration departed from established principles in fixing the hours of work for clerical workers'in the recent Dominion award is made by Mr W. N. Pharazyn. secretary': of the New Zealand Clerical Employees’ Association. “Under the clerical workers’ award, office workers in general offices, that is to say, the vast majority, working 37 to 38 hours, will receive, the award wage, but their fellow-workers win some retail shops and warehouses will work 44 hours for no more money,” said Mr Pharazyn. “It -is difficult to see what principle can have actuated the court in differentiating between the hours of work of clerical and other classes of workers to the great disadvantage of the latter.”
