TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union AERATED WATERS AWARD
Award variation - second MRA - application granted - operative ffpp 12 July 2000 REASONS FOR DECISION This was an application made under section 23(1) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 (the Act) by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (the AMACSU) for a variation to be made to the Aerated Waters Award (the award). By correspondence dated 10 July 2000, Mr I Paterson of AMACSU was authorised to represent the Australian Liquor, Hospitality and Miscellaneous Workers Union - Tasmanian Branch. The AMACSU sought the implementation of the second Minimum Rates Adjustment (MRA) in the award: a draft order was provided in the application. At the hearing the AMACSU reminded the Commission that the MRA process had been commenced in the award in matter T7902 of 1998 and this application was the next step in the agreed process specified in exhibit P4 in the previous matter. The AMACSU submitted that the variation requested was in compliance with the Principles of the Commission, as set out in the recent full bench decision in matters T8413 of 1999 and T8433 of 1999 (see Principle 2), and the granting of the application was not against the public interest. The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited confirmed its consent to the variation proposed and advised its agreement to the AMACSU's submissions and the draft order. It was also agreed between the parties that the operative date for the proposed variation to be the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 July 2000. I accept the submissions of the parties and the application is granted. An order operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 July 2000 is attached.
