§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Minister of Labour if he is aware that many airline hostesses are employed without having any contract of employment; and what steps he intends to take in the matter.
§ Mr. HattersleyThere is no obligation upon employers to give employees written170W contracts of employment; but the Contracts of Employment Act requires employers to issue to employees written statements of the main terms of their employment.
My officers have drawn the attention of certain airlines to the fact that the statements they have issued do not include all the information required by the Act. The companies have undertaken to repair the omissions.
