The West Australian, Friday 21 May, 1909.
A NEW SHIPPING AGREEMENT.
REGULATION OF HOURS AND
WAGES.
Melbourne, May 20.
A new agreement regulating wages
and hours of work has been entered into
between the Coastal Steamship Association
of New South Wales and the Federated
Seamen's Union of Australia. The provisions
are closely modelled on those of the
inter-State agreement and New
South Wales, which had previously stood
out, is therefore brought into line with the
other States of the Commonwealth.
The 'circle' of shipowners were finding themselves confronted by the steady march towards the rights of workers.
