Mr Cooper for the AWU, Mr Holden for the Food Preservers Union of Australia, Tasmania Branch (FPU) and Mr Fitzgerald for the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries all requested the Commission to endorse the consent application. Having heard the submissions of the parties, I hereby endorse the application, as it conforms with the Wage Fixing Principles and forms part of the agreed process arising out of the award restructuring programme. The award will be varied in the manner sought by the parties and will be operative from the first full pay period to commence on after 19 May 1993. The Order giving effect to this decision is attached.
