PILOTS’ STRIKE
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright)
MELBOURNE, July 8.
More than 1200 airline pilots employed by AnsettA.N.A. and T.A.A. will stop work at midnight on Sunday, grounding all major domestic services in Australia.
It will be the first domestic airline pilots’ strike since 1959. Last-minute talks controlled by the acting secretary of the Department of Labour and National Service, Dr. P. H. Cook in Melbourne, today failed to bring about a wages compromise between the pilots and the airlines. The three-hour meeting was the end of almost 12 months of negotiations in which the federation claimed a 32 per cent wage increase. Last Friday the pilots rejected an independent inquirer’s recommendation that they accept a 15 per cent increase.
