FIREMEN’S HOLIDAYS
ARBITRATION COURT CASE (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) PALMERSTON N., Tuesday The interpretation of the holiday clause in the award affecting fire brigadesmen was the issue in an appeal case brought before the Arbitration Court to-day. The award states that each worker on the completion of six months’ continuous service shall be granted 28 days’ leave on full pay. The matter originally was taken before Mr J. A. Gilmour, S.M., who ruled that the holidays were to be included in the period termed continuous service, but the Palmerston North Fire Board contended that brigadesmen should be called upon actually to work six months before being entitled to leave.
Mr L. Glover, who appeared for the workers, contended that the holidays came within the six months, and said the Palmerston North board was the only one from Bluff to Whangarei out of step. All the other boards gave their men the holidays within the six months, or 56 days off each year. Decision was reserved.
