INCREASING WAGES
The suggestion that workers’ unions are seeking to obtain increases of wages by increasing the number of classes of workers specifically provided for in awards was made by Mr W. E. Anderson, when appearing for the employers in the Arbitration Court at Auckland. In the tanners’ dispute before the court the union was asking that the classifications be increased from 18 to 33.

The unions were therefore concentrating on extending classifications, to try to got in one way what they could not get in another.
