HOTEL WORKERS’ AWARD.
WELLINGTON, July 8. Application was made by the Wellington Hotel-workers’ Union yesterday to attach the Wellington clubs to the Hotelworkers’ award, with a view to getting a eix-day week for club workers, the same as for hotel employees. There is, it appears, a doubt as to whether the Arbitration Court can legally bind clubs to any award, but in the event of an adverse decision the union is taking steps to secure an amendment o the Act. In effect, the legislation proposed is that only, chartered clubs shall be bound by awards, and that each club shall have the option of giving up its charter or running its bar business under the same labour conditions as licensed hotelkeepers are obliged to run theirs.
