DAIRY WORKERS’ AWARD
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
Members of the Taranaki Dairying and Farming Industrial Union of Employers, and of the dairy factory employees met recently to discuss certain proposed amendments to the Dairy Workers’ Award. After a discussion lasting several hours it was decided to leave the matter to the next annual meeting of the Employers’ Union, when the matter will be placed before the members. Among other amendments the men ask that the hours for employees in butter factories, cheese factories and packing rooms, and casein makers, casein dryers, and creamery employees and motor and horse drivers attached to dairy factories shall not exceed 48 hours of six days, and not more than nine hours shall be worked in any one day without payment of overtime. There are also applications regarding wages of cream graders and casein dryers, and an application for determining the manning scale of cheese factories. One suggestion is that employees in cheese factories shall not be called upon to unload coal, and also that a district Industrial Council be formed.
