Fix this textMinister’s announcement that Federation contributions would no longer be
Fix this textdeducted by the Department from July 1 this year. Some members of Federa-
Fix this texttion had played into the Minister’s hands by urging members to request the
Fix this textDepartment not to deduct the increased contribution decided at the Special
Fix this textConference on April 22. This, in fact, was the excuse the Minister used
Fix this textwhen announcing his decision.
Fix this textThe main debate at Council centred about the contributions issue. The
Fix this textdebate on the draft salaries claim had to be adjourned until the June Council
Fix this textmeeting; unfinished business from 1971 was not reached at all.
Fix this textThe Minister’s decision has forced a second
Fix this textSpecial Conference on the Federation be-
Fix this textcause of the need to amend the rules of
Fix this textthe Constitution to ensure that members do
Fix this textnot become automatically disenfranchised on
Fix this textJuly 1.
Fix this textSpecial Conference, Sat., June 17
Fix this textSome members complained that they had not
Fix this textreceived sufficient notice of the agenda for
Fix this textthe April 22 Special Conference. Recom-
Fix this textmendations proposed for the special con-
Fix this textference called for June 17 are printed below
