IN THE TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984


T.1741 of 1988	IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION BY THE TRANSPORT WORKERS' UNION OF AUSTRALIA, TASMANIAN BRANCH TO VARY THE CARRIERS AWARD

	RE: ALLOWANCES

COMMISSIONER J G KING	HOBART, 8 December 1988

REASONS FOR DECISION

APPEARANCES:

For the Transport Workers' Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch	- Mr B. Hansch

For the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries	- Mr K. Brotherson


DATE AND PLACE OF HEARING:

21 November 1988 Hobart

This application seeks to vary the Carriers Award (the Award) by increasing certain allowances by 3%, the percentage increase awarded in the Commission's most recent National Wage case decision1.

The allowances, the subject of this matter, were inadvertently omitted from an earlier application2 which resulted in the majority of allowances in the Award being increased by 3%.

As the reasons for the claim in this matter along with the tests to be applied by the Commission are the same as in T.1705 of 1988, I simply record the same finding.

The Award will be varied in accordance with the application, effective from the first pay period commencing on or after 1 December 1988.

The Commission's order is attached.

J. G. King
COMMISSIONER
