Minimum wage to incease by 50 cents
OTTAWA - Labour Minister Bill
McKnight has announced an increase of 50
cents an hour in the federal minimum wage,
raising it to $4 per hour effective in May
1986.
McKnight also announced that there
would no longer be a corresponding federal
youth minimum wage as the $4 per hour
minimum would be applicable to all
employees regardless of age. F orrnerly, the
minimum wage for persons under 17 years
of age was $3.25 per hour.
In announcing the increase, McKnight
said: "The federal minimum wage was last
revised in May of 1981 and this increase not
only reflects the government's commitment
to an equitable minimum wage but also br-
ings the federal minimum wage more in
harmony with the rates in other jurisdic-
tions."
The increase to $9 is an increase of 14.3
per cent. Rates in the provinces and ter-
ritories range from $3.65 per hour to $4.50
per hour.
There are an estimated 600,000 employees
under federal jurisdiction in various in-
dustries such as banking, shipping, air
transport, broadcasting, railways, grain
elevators and pipelines, etc.
