Industrial Relations Adviser for Fiji

The Fiji Government decided in September to create a new post of Industrial Relations Adviser to the Government. The appointment was recommended recently by Mr. E. Parry, Deputy Labour Adviser to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, follow ing his visit to Fiji.

The Government statement said the appointment would strengthen the Labour Depart ment and assist in the trans formation of its role in industrial relations so that it may take a more active part in the develop ment of amiable relations be tween both sides of industry in the Colony.

The present state of industrial relations warrants an early appointment, and the salary suggested for this highly im portant and specialised job is £2,400, plus £3OO post allowance, with a two-year contract.
