With the formation of a new SATA Committee in
June and the announcement that a fresh pay trend survey
of the Secretarial Class would begin in October, the
dispute with the Shorthand Audio Typists is now effectively
over. Only 65 SATs remain to exercise their options to
be regraded as Stenographer and this number is expected
to continually diminish.
5.
It is of interest that both Mrs Matilda CHEUNG
and Miss Vivien SO, the ladies who went to London, have
both exercised their options, Miss So having done so
prior to her resignation.
6.
Two informal meetings between the new committee
members and representatives of the Civil Service Branch
were held. At the second meeting the Secretary for the
Civil Service attended briefly.

Correspondence on the SATA issue was exchanged
between Miss Muriel Turner, Assistant General Secretary
of ASTMS, and the Acting Governor as well as between the
S.C.S. and F.C.0.
