NOTHING TO BE WRITTEN IN THIS MARGIN
union discrimination by employers.
If so, agreed.
}
(c) Tightening of picketing laws agreed.
(Provisions adopted elsewhere to deal
with this point and (b) above are
available here and will be sent to
you urgently.)
(a) We would also add consideration of
weekly day of rest for all workers;
minimum wage fixing legislation,
protection of wages, fiar wages clause
in government contracts, factory laws
to- should be extended to cover a wider
spread of industrial undertakings and
prosecutions provisions should relate
to an offence in respect of each
person illegally employed and not
each undertaking. Ultimately
protective legislation should be
extended to govern non-industrial
undertakings.
7. We hope to be able to make available
David Goodwin, ex-Permanent Secretary, Ministry
of Labour, Singapore, who has carried out
labour legislation reviews for us in Caribbean
and Africa. He is at present in Malawi but
will be available early June. We would
recommend one year attachment in first instance.
8. We regard strengthening of Labour Department
as an essential part of whole programme.
Goodwin would be valuable re-inforcement of
whole-programme-- -G- in a number of ways, but
what is position of Price and Bennett who are
on contract? Strengthened inspectorate
will also be necessary. Grateful to receive
Governor's proposals on this in due course.
