PAID HOLIDAYS FOR ALL' DECISION

WILL AFFECT 18.500.000

THE GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE ON HOLIDAYS WITH PAY, WHOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WILL EVENTUALLY AFFECT 18,500,000 BRITISH WORKERS, ISSUED THEIR REPORT LAST MONTH. THEIR MAIN DECISIONS ARE THAT :—

In industries where kolidays with pay are not already provided an annual holiday with pay, consisting of at least one working week, should be established without undue delay as part of the terms of the contract of employment.

Domestic workers in full-time employment should be entitled to two weeks' holiday with pay where the service has been for a year or more in one household.

Legislation for these matters should be

introduerd at an early date.

The Ministry of Labour should give every encouragement for "staggering" hoti- days.

In industries where employment niy be with many employers in the course of the year it may be neces sary to Introduce a card system no that the various employers can contribute to the employees' holi- day.

Where such a schorne is agreed upon the cost of administration shoubi be borne by the State, and any leglutation necessary to enable such schemes to operate should be introduced at an early dete.

In any legislation terms and condi

tions of holidays with Day should be left to the parties concerned necessary arbitrators night be appointed by the parties con- rerned, or falling that, the Mints- ter should refer the matter to k iribunal nominated by him. Nothing in any compulsory scheme should adversely affect any exist- ing more-favourable provisions for holldays with pay.

A branch of the Ministry of Labour should be set up to supervise the application and observance of the provisions of holidays with pay, stimulate the "staggering" of holidays and the encouragement of the provision of better accom- modation. Education authorities should try to arrange school holi- daya to L In with industria! holldays.

It would aid the spreading of the holiday months if the date of the Easter Bank Holiday were axed. The position would be eased If the Easter Bank Holiday were taken on the first or second Monday after the beginning of Summer Time, or if the Easier Act (1028) which fixed Easter

да the first Sunday after the second Saturday in April were to become operative. The committee estimate that only 7,750,000 of the 18,500,000 workers with whom the report deals, are already provided with annual cou- seculive days of holiday with pay in some form.

1,750,000 MORE

While the rommittee were sitting the number of wage-earners affected by collective agreements granting holidays with puy increased re- markably from about 1,750,000 to about 3,000,000.

Dealing with "staggered" holidays, the report continues: "The present position appears to us to be that the railway companies are waiting upon industry and the Board of Education to move in the matter, while under- taking such propaganda as they are able to, and that the Board Education Is waiting for

Dubikc opinion to influence local authorities.

u

en-

"In the meantime industry In general seems to be unwilling to make any start sufficient to give the movement the impetus necessary for it to develop in large proportions."

The

committee think that couragement should be given to the setting up of establishments caler- ing for the worker who wishes to take his family on an inexpensive holiday in which his wife can enjoy rest and recuperation and freedom, so far as possible, from more arduous household duties.

"It is possible that the develop- ment of accommodation Jo the country for recreational and re- cuperative purposes may be a matter of interest to, for example, the Commissioner for Special Areas."

The cost of the committee's la- quiry is estimated to be £385 8s. id.
