Y.W.C.A. DOES NOT WANT TO BE BOUND
SERVANTS’ HOURS The question arose before the Arbitration Court this morning whether or not the Y.W.C.A. should be a party to the Private Hotel Employees’ Award. The hostel authorities applied for exemption. but the union representative remarked that the hostel was charging" ;£2 2s. which was considerably more than many private hotels secured. “It is a bit difficult when these people branch out into other than their usual sphere," remarked Mr. Justice Frazer. The union representative said the girls working in the hostel had not received their day off until the hostel was brought under the award. A Y-W.C.A. representative said the girls used to get two half-days, and their hours were well under those of the award. The regular girls paid 18s Sd to £1 a week, and the transients were charge! £2 2s to help pay the way. “We know these people have to go out,” remarked Mr. Jackson, union representative, “but it barely seems fair to the competitive houses.” The Court decided to consider the position.
