arbitration.

dealing with holidays and reat days. One is a simple measure to ensure
that industrial holidays coincide with general holidays in the
Holidays Ordinance which was amended last year. The second
contemplates changes in the qualifications for holidays with pay and
improved entitlements to sickness allowance especially for holidays
with pay and improved entitlement to sickness allowance especially
after long service. The third concerns rest days for women and young
persons in some non-industrial sectors, while the fourth concerns
the provision of a statutory right to a six-day week for adult male
workers in industry and in some services.
