Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's decision to revise wage scales and classify workmen, stating that the comparison made was justified despite some minor errors in detail. The Court clarified that the classification of jobs is the Tribunal's responsibility, while fitting existing staff into classified jobs can be left to the employer in consultation with the union. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's award regarding wage scales and classification procedures.
