TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984
s.65A application for determination of award interest

Australian Mines and Metals Association (Incorporated)
(T.2725 of 1990)

PASMINCO ROSEBERY (MINING) AWARD

 

COMMISSIONER R.K. GOZZI

HOBART, 28 February 1991

Award Interest

REASONS FOR DECISION

This application by the Australian Mines and Metals Association (Incorporated) (AMMA) was made to initiate determination of interest proceedings in the Pasminco Rosebery (Mining) Award which became operative on 8 August 1990.

Accordingly, following the steps required to be undertaken by the Registrar in conformity with the Industrial Relations Act 1984 the application was referred to me by the President for determination.

In deciding matters of this kind I must take into account the provisions of Section 63(10)(c) which are as follows:

"(c) that Commissioner shall determine which awards the organisation has an interest in by satisfying himself that -

    (i) the membership of the organisation consists of or includes members who are employers or employees in the industry or occupation to which the awards stated in its application pursuant to subsection (1)(a)(vii) relate or who are State employees to whom those awards relate:

    (ii) that membership is consistent with the organisation's rules or constitution a copy of which has been lodged with the Registrar pursuant to subsection (1); and

(iii) the organisation being granted an interest in an award or awards would not prejudice the orderly conduct of industrial relations in Tasmania."

Having heard Mr Knott for the AMMA I am satisfied that this employee organisation should be granted an interest in the Pasminco Rosebery (Mining) Award and I decide in this way.

A copy of this decision, operative from 28 February 1991, will be forwarded to the Registrar pursuant to Section 65A(6) of the Act.

The order is attached.
