BOOTMAKERS AWARD

 

COMMISSIONER R.K. GOZZI

HOBART, 4 November 1992

Award variation - delete all reference to the Amalgamated Footwear and Textile Workers Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch - replace with the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch consent matter - application granted

REASONS FOR DECISION

These applicatons by the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Austrtalia, Tasmanian Branch (TCFU) sought determination of interest (T.4065 of 1992) and subsequent name change (T.4060 of 1992) in the Parties and Persons Bound clause of the Bootmakers Award. The applications were joined for hearing purposes.

As it transpired the application for determination of interest was not necessary as the Amalgamated Footwear and Textile Workers Union of Australia (AFTWU), when amalgamating with the Clothing and Allied Trades Union of Australia, was not deregistered. All that happened with regard to the AFTWU was a name change to the Textile Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia. Subsequently a Full Bench1 in this jurisdiction considered the amalgamation of the aforementioned organisations.

In the circumstances determinaiton of interest proceedings for the TCFU is not necessary as only a name change is involved. Accordingly application T.4065 of 1992 is struck out.

With regard to the variation to the Parties and Persons Bound clause, the TCFU will be included in the award operative from 16 October 1992. The reference to the Amalgamated Footwear and Textile Workers Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch will be deleted.

The order is attached.
