The short term problem of coping with the effects of the wage freeze, the long term issue of attempting to find a new system of wage fixing, and the associated issue of union organisation, completely dominated the 1983 FOL conference. Held in Wellington from 3 - 6 May 1983, it was attended by 412 delegates exercising 594 votes. 69 delegates were women compared with a previous high of 64, reflecting only a slow increase in female participation in union affairs.
