Fix this textClerical Officers' Agreement
Fix this textWAGE FIXING: NEW APPROACH NEEDED
Fix this textD. J. BRADY
Fix this textAssistant General Secretary
Fix this textIt is probably inappropriate to refer to any union as
Fix this texta goose or a gander. However, the adage, "what's good
Fix this textfor the goose is good for the gander" should be adopted by
Fix this textthe N.S.W. Public Service Board in its approach to wage
Fix this textfixing in the public service.
Fix this textThe Board and the
Fix this textFederation
Fix this textIn March, 1967, the Federa-
Fix this texttion and the Board signed an
Fix this textagreement, operative from
Fix this textOctober, 1966, for a period of
Fix this textapproximately 2\ years (i.e. till
Fix this textJune 30, 1969). This agreement
Fix this textwas signed in anticipation of
Fix this texttwo matters.
Fix this text• the automatic flow of
Fix this textnational wage decisions
Fix this textgiven in the pattern of those
Fix this textmade in 1965 and 1966 —
Fix this texti.e. percentage type in-
Fix this textcreases on total salary and
Fix this text• the flow into wages and
Fix this textsalaries generally of the
Fix this textdecision of the Common-
Fix this textwealth Industrial Commis-
Fix this textsion in the 1967 Metal
Fix this textTrades Award.
Fix this textThese anticipations were not
Fix this textrealised, firstly the 1967 and
Fix this text1968 national wage decisions
Fix this textwere for flat amounts ($52.00
Fix this textp.a. and $70.00 p.a.) to be add-
Fix this texted to all salaries, and secondly
Fix this textthe metal trades decision was
Fix this texttechnically restricted to that
Fix this textaward.
Fix this textHowever, by early 1968 a new
Fix this textstandard of wages and salaries
Fix this textbegan to emerge following on
Fix this textthe metal trades decision of De-
Fix this textcember 1967. This new stand-
Fix this textard was typified by the award
Fix this textmade for administrative and
Fix this textclerical officers in May 1968
Fix this text(operative from January 1968).
Fix this textThroughout 1968 Federation
Fix this textmade several approaches to the
Fix this textBoard seeking the reopening of
Fix this textthe agreement to allow teach-
Fix this texters to receive the benefit of the
Fix this textnew wage standard.
Fix this textAll of these approaches were
Fix this textmet by a steadfast refusal on
Fix this textthe part of the Board to even
Fix this textconsider reopening the agree-
Fix this textment. The only gain eventually
Fix this textmade was an undertaking by the
Fix this textBoard to commence negotia-
Fix this texttions for a new agreement prior
Fix this textto the expiry date of the 1967
Fix this textagreement (i.e. before June 30).
Fix this textThese negotiations did in fact
Fix this textcommence in late February but
Fix this textwhen, by July, the Board had
Fix this textnot made an adequate offer,
Fix this textthe Federation was forced to
Fix this textmake application to the Indus-
Fix this texttrial Commission for an award.
Fix this textThe Board and the
Fix this textP.S.A.
Fix this textOn May 5, 1968, the N.S.W.
Fix this textIndustrial Commission made
Fix this textan award for the Administrative
Fix this textand Clerical Division of the
Fix this textpublic service. The award
Fix this textoperated from the first pay
Fix this textperiod of January 1968 for a
Fix this textperiod of three years (i.e. until
Fix this textJanuary 1971).
Fix this textAt the beginning of 1970 the
Fix this textPublic Service Association ap-
Fix this textproached the Board and sought
Fix this texta variation to the award be-
Fix this textcause of the increases in sal-
Fix this textaries generally with particular
Fix this textreference to the increases re-
Fix this textceived by teachers in the in-
Fix this textterim award of 1970.
Fix this textThe Board evidently accept-
Fix this texted this argument from the Pub-
Fix this textlic Service Association an
Fix this textargument identical with that
Fix this textadvanced by the Federation in
Fix this text1968 and rejected—because by
Fix this textearly April a new agreement
Fix this textwas signed whereby salaries
Fix this textwere increased by amounts
Fix this textranging from $21.00 to
Fix this text$1,175.00 per annum.
Fix this textThe agreement will operate
Fix this textfrom February 1970 —i.e. eleven
Fix this textmonths before the expiry of the
Fix this textaward —for a period of two
Fix this textyears.
Fix this textThe Federation congratulates
Fix this textthe Public Service Association
Fix this texton the agreement signed and
Fix this texttrusts that what has happened
Fix this textheralds a new and realistic
Fix this textapproach to wage fixing by the
Fix this textPublic Service Board.
Fix this textFederation Council on April
Fix this text4 considered a report on this
Fix this textmatter and carried the follow-
Fix this texting resolution:
Fix this textCouncil of the N.S.W.
Fix this textTeachers’ Federation has
Fix this textnoted the terms of the salary
Fix this textagreement between the Pub-
Fix this textlic Service Association and
Fix this textthe Public Service Board pre-
Fix this textscribing salaries for Adminis-
Fix this texttrative and Clerical Division
Fix this textStaff.
Fix this textCouncil congratulates the
Fix this textPublic Service Association on
Fix this textthe success of the negotia-
Fix this texttions which led to an agree-
Fix this textment operating eleven months
Fix this textin advance of the expiry of
Fix this textthe award of the Industrial
Fix this textCommission which formerly
Fix this textcovered this group of
Fix this textofficers.
Fix this textHowever, Council expresses
Fix this textits concern at the different
Fix this textattitudes adopted by the
Fix this textBoard which act to the detri-
Fix this textment of the Federation and
Fix this textthe teaching service. During
Fix this textseveral conferences through-
Fix this textout 1968 the Board con-
Fix this textsistently rejected Federation’s
Fix this textapplication to re-open the
Fix this textthen agreement and allow
Fix this textteachers’ salaries to be re-
Fix this textnewed in the light of move-
Fix this textment in wages and salaries
Fix this textfollowinq the 1967 metal
Fix this texttrades decision and the 1968
Fix this textaward for administrative and
Fix this textclerical officers. This attitude
Fix this textof the Board is in marked
Fix this textcontrast to that now displayed
Fix this textto the Public Service Associa-
Fix this texttion.
Fix this textCouncil now calls upon the
Fix this textBoard to confer with Federa-
Fix this texttion representatives with a
Fix this textview to reaching agreement
Fix this texton a variation to the current
Fix this textaward which will ensure that
Fix this textteachers receive more ade-
Fix this textquate salaries pending the
Fix this text"nalising of the current hear-
Fix this texting before the Industrial Com-
Fix this textmission.
Fix this textFurther, Council calls upon
Fix this textthe Board to vary its decision
Fix this textnot to allow the rates pre-
Fix this textscribed by the interim award
Fix this textof the Commission to operate
Fix this textbetween July 1 and August
Fix this text29, 1969.
Fix this textCAMPAIGN PAYS OFF-SUBSTANTIAL
Fix this textBAINS IN WORKING CONDITIONS
Fix this textSeveral discussions have
Fix this texttaken place between the
Fix this textTeachers’ Federation and the
Fix this textPublic Service Board on mat-
Fix this textters which are of major con-
Fix this textcern to the teaching service.
Fix this textAmong those questions dis-
Fix this textcussed was the matter of the
Fix this textsigning of a time book and the
Fix this textPublic Service Board has agreed
Fix this textthat it should not be necessary
Fix this textfor a teacher to sign on and
Fix this textoff each day.
Fix this textDuring discussions, the Board
Fix this textsaid that it is essential that a
Fix this textrecord of a teacher’s attendance
Fix this textbe available to the principal or
Fix this textto anybody else who may be
Fix this textconcerned and they agreed to
Fix this textaccept the initialling of an
Fix this textattendance book once each day
Fix this textby permanent and temporary
Fix this textteachers.
Fix this textDetailed instructions for the
Fix this textintroduction of this change will
Fix this textbe sent to schools as soon as
Fix this textpossible, but in the main, teach-
Fix this texters will be required to initial
Fix this textagainst an appropriate number
Fix this texton their arrival at school.
Fix this textThe Federation has been in-
Fix this textformed of a number of other
Fix this textdecisions made by the Public
Fix this textService Board following the
Fix this textdiscussions which have been
Fix this textheld.
Fix this textApproval has been given by
Fix this textthe Treasury for expenditure
Fix this texton overseas advertising, particu-
Fix this textlarly in the United Kingdom
Fix this textand the United States of
Fix this textAmerica.
Fix this textThis is as a result of dis-
Fix this textcussions about the need to re-
Fix this textcruit teachers to fill blanks in
Fix this textthe New South Wales service.
Fix this textRelated to this is the Board’s
Fix this textundertaking to consider a sub-
Fix this textmission made by the classifiers’
Fix this textcommittee that overseas teach-
Fix this texters who have completed three
Fix this textyears training at an approved
Fix this textteachers’ college will be grant-
Fix this texted three year status.
Fix this textThe principal of providing
Fix this textfull and part-time professional
Fix this texttraining to mature age gradu-
Fix this textates has been approved by the
Fix this textTreasury, but more detailed in-
Fix this textformation of costs involved
Fix this textwere required from the Educa-
Fix this texttion Department.
Fix this textEmployment of teachers who
Fix this texthave retired but have not yet
Fix this textreached age 65 was another
Fix this textmatter discussed and the Pub-
Fix this textlic Service Board has under-
Fix this texttaken to investigate the possi-
Fix this textbility of utilising the provisions
Fix this textof Section 94 of the Superannu-
Fix this textation Act so that these teach-
Fix this texters can be given full time em-
Fix this textployment during 1970 and that
Fix this textthe provision be reviewed in
Fix this text1971.
Fix this textIt was requested that the
Fix this textprogramme for the provision
Fix this textof ancillary staff be accele-
Fix this textrated and the Board has pro-
Fix this textmised to investigate the possi-
Fix this textbility of having a second stage
Fix this textof this programme implemented
Fix this textfrom July 1.
Fix this textEarly discussions with de-
Fix this textpartmental officers have been
Fix this textsought to consider action that
Fix this textshould be taken to increase the
Fix this textpool of relief teachers.
Fix this textAll these can be regarded as
Fix this textsubstantial gains in the Fede-
Fix this textration’s working conditions
Fix this textcampaign and a direct result
Fix this textof the enthusiasm with which
Fix this textteachers have supported the
Fix this textcampaign.
Fix this textPrime Minister to open WCOTP Assembly
Fix this textThe ATF has been advised that the Prime
Fix this textMinister, Rt. Hon. J. G. Gorton, will officially
Fix this textopen the WCOTP 1970 Assembly in the
Fix this textSydney Town Hall at 8 p.m., Tuesday, August 4.
Fix this textIt is a source of great satis-
Fix this textfaction that the Commonwealth
Fix this textGovernment has thus recog-
Fix this textnised the significance of both
Fix this textInternational Education Year
Fix this textand the vital part played by
Fix this textnational and international
Fix this textteachers’ organisations in the
Fix this textadvancement of education and
Fix this textliteracy.
Fix this textThe Commonwealth Govern-
Fix this textment will also tender an offi-
Fix this textcial reception for delegates in
Fix this textthe Ballroom, Menzies Hotel,
Fix this texton Wednesday, August 5,
Fix this texthosted by the Minister for
Fix this textEducation and Science, Hon.
Fix this textNigel Bowen. The ATF is
Fix this textgrateful for Mr. Bowen’s rep-
Fix this textresentations to the Government
Fix this textin connection with arrange-
Fix this textments for the Assembly.
Fix this textA highlights of the official
Fix this textopening will be the inaugural
Fix this textaddress by the President, Sir
Fix this textRonald Gould, who has pre-
Fix this textsided over the affairs of
Fix this textWCOTP since its formation
Fix this texteighteen years ago. “His
Fix this textWCOTP addresses have become
Fix this texta byword for excellence on
Fix this textthe international educational
Fix this textscene,” writes Ron Evans,
Fix this textPresident of the State School
Fix this textTeachers’ Union of W.A.
Fix this text“Packed with punch, and liber-
Fix this textally sprinkled with apt illus-
Fix this texttrations, they not only epito-
Fix this textmise the theme, but act as a
Fix this textchallenge and inspiration to his
Fix this textaudience.” Sir Ronald retires
Fix this textafter the Assembly this year.
Fix this textMusical items from selected
Fix this textschools and pupils will be
Fix this textarranged by Mr. Terrence
Fix this textHunt, Inspector-in-charge of
Fix this textSchool Music, N.S.W.
Fix this textThe ATF has been gratified
Fix this textto note the increasing interest
Fix this textby overseas educationists in
Fix this textthe Australian Assembly. Dr.
Fix this textAngie Brooks, President of the
Fix this textUnited Nations General
Fix this textAssembly, is making a special
Fix this textvisit to Australia to bring
Fix this textbefore the conference the aims
Fix this textof the United Nations during
Fix this textInternational Education Year.
Fix this textSeveral eminent education-
Fix this textists from England, America
Fix this textand New Zealand, who, to-
Fix this textgether with their Australian
Fix this textcounterparts, will be partici-
Fix this textpating in an International
Fix this textIntervisitation Programme in
Fix this textAustralia during August, have
Fix this textexpressed a desire to attend
Fix this textpart of the Assembly proceed-
Fix this textings.
Fix this textThe names of about 200
Fix this textaccredited delegates and ob-
Fix this textservers from overseas have
Fix this textalready come to hand, and it
Fix this textis expected that this figure will
Fix this textbe almost doubled before the
Fix this textend of June. There is no doubt
Fix this textthat the Australian Assembly
Fix this textis creating world-wide interest.
Fix this textThe despatch of the second
Fix this textAssembly brochure, together
Fix this textwith hotel and information
Fix this textforms for return to QANTAS,
Fix this texthas been commenced this week.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
