TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Federation of Industrial, Manufacturing and Engineering Employees METAL AND ENGINEERING INDUSTRY AWARD
Award interest REASONS FOR DECISION On 3 December 1991 the Commission made a new award called the Metal and Engineering Industry Award. Arising out of that decision (T.2757 of 1990) the Federation of Industrial, Manufacturing and Engineering Employees, Tasmania Branch (FIMEE) made application to the Registrar to have its current certificate of registration recalled and re-issued in an amended form on the grounds that an award in which it has an interest is not specified in the certificate. This matter was referred to me by the President for the purpose of determining whether or not the FIMEE had an interest in the Metal and Engineering Industry Award. The Industrial Relations Act 1984 requires me, when dealing with such applications, to take into account such matters as specified in section 63(10)(c) which states, inter alia:
After hearing submissions from Ms Pavlic representing the Federation of Industrial, Manufacturing and Engineering Employees, Tasmania Branch in relation to the application, I have satisfied myself that the FIMEE should be granted an interest in the Metal and Engineering Industry Award and I decide accordingly. I have formulated my decision on the facts that:
I will now forward a copy of this decision to the Registrar thus enabling him to make the necessary amendments to the certificate of registration. The award shall also be varied to reflect the decision with an operative date of 21 February 1992. The Order giving effect to this decision is attached.
