RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
WATERSIDE WORKERS AWARD
POWER TO SUE FOR WAGES
In a notification to the AVliakatane Harbour Board, the New Zealand Harbour Board's Industrial Union of Employers .states that the award to Harbour Board employees has been amended and the amendment is now law. Under the Act, the worker is now able to proceed against an employer for the recovery of wages alleged to be due, in a
similar manner to the proceedings for a breach of an award,, thereby limiting the right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration only. The right of a worker to sue for his wages in the Civil Courts, with the right of appeal to the Supreme Court is retained. Thus the worker may at his own option decide the course, he wild follow in a claim for wages.
