COMMISSIONER P A IMLACH

HOBART, 16 March 1990

   

REASONS FOR INTERIM DECISION

   

APPEARANCES:

   

For the Printing and Allied Trades Employers' Federation of Australia, Tasmanian Region

- Mr J Hargrave

   

For the Federated Clerks Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch

- Mr D Fry

   
   

For the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries

- Mr M Setori with
  Mr S Clues

   

DATE AND PLACE OF HEARING:

 

8 February 1990

 

For the purposes of this interim decision the matter of concern is application T.2286 of 1990, an application by the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries to vary the Printers Award in respect to a number of exemptions from contributing to the Occupational Superannuation Funds specified in clause 22 of the Printers Award.

Mr M Sertori, appearing for the Tasmanian Confederation of Industries (TCI) sought exemptions for Screencraft Pty Ltd, Mercury Walsh and ENT Limited, nominating respectively the AMP Superleader Plan, the News Limited Group Superannuation Fund and the ENT Limited Staff Superannuation Fund as alternate funds. He produced exhibits including copies of appropriate letters from the Commonwealth Occupational Superannuation Commission authorising the funds and fund explanatory papers in two cases.

Mr D Fry, appearing for the Federated Clerks Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch (FCU), supported Mr Setori's submissions and confirmed that his union agreed to the exemptions.

As indicated at the end of the hearing there are no hindrances to the granting of the exemptions claimed. All requirements having been met and the union's agreement having been given, I, therefore, endorse the application.

The operative date for this decision will be 1 February 1990.

An order reflecting this interim decision will be issued in due course.

As soon as information promised to be forwarded by the Printing and Allied Trades Employers' Federation of Australia, Tasmanian Region is received a further decision will issue and these matters will be completed.
