On June 6 the Arbitra- tion Commission, by a two to one majority, decided that Federal long -service leave should be controlled by the commission. It adjourned until now the hearing of arguments on the form that the long - service leave should take in Federal awards. Under N.S.W. legislation operating from this year, workers in that State receive 13 weeks after 15 years' 'service. Workers in Victoria, through legislation receive 13 weeks atter 20 years. The major private em- ployeis successfully sought earlier in the year to have long -service leave written into Federal awards. They arc seeking a national code which will provide 13 weeks after 20 years' service. Today Mr Kerr told the Full Bench, comprising Mr Justice Wright, Mr Justice Moore and Mr Justice Sweeney. that N.S.W. had not done anything morally wrong in reducing the qualifying period for long - service leave. "Too Generous Too Quickly" "The most that could be said was that the State had been too generous too quickly. "If the Commission chose to enter the long - service leave field then it should not make a harrier against State legislation." Mr Kerr said that under the new act in N.S.W. ser- vice before 1963 was taken at the old standard. "Now that the new pro- visions applied it means that a person with 15 years' service could take his leave, but he would not get the full 13 weeks. 'rhe hearing will he con- tinued tomorrow.
