(T.2487 of 1990)

PASMINCO ROSEBERY (MINING) AWARD
MINING (LEAD-ZINC) AWARD

Structural Efficiency Principle and Consolidation of new award

REASONS FOR DECISION

The Pasminco Rosebery (Mining) Award was made by the Commission operative from 8 August 1990 and was limited to the following clauses:

Since then a number of variations have been made to the award including determination of interest1, the inclusion of a tool allowance provision2 and a variation to the Weekly Wage rate for Surface and Mill Operators3.

As well the Commission has facilitated several drafting conferences with the parties to ensure the inclusion in the new award of all other relevant clauses from the Mining Lead Zinc Award and those new provisions which give effect in the Pasminco Rosebery (Mining) Award to the structural efficiency measures determined in this matter on 8 August 1990.

As a consequence all outstanding issues in this matter have now been addressed and therefore a consolidated award and [correction order] will be issued operative from 8 August 1990.

Accordingly as the Mining (Lead-Zinc) Award is now redundant it is rescinded as from the date of operation of the Pasminco Rosebery (Mining) Award, i.e. 8 August 1990.

The Order is attached.
