Wage Rates - State Wage November 1989 - minimum rates adjustment REASONS FOR DECISION This was an application made under Section 23 of the Act by the Transport Workers' Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch (the Union) for the second minimum rates adjustment (MRA) to be implemented in the Transport Workers General Award (the Award) in accordance with the current Wage Guidelines.

The Union sought for both the second MRA and the corrected increases to operate from the first full pay period commencing on or after 1 September 1991, the date endorsed in matter T.2894 of 1990. The Tasmanian Confederation of Industries (the Confederation) indicated agreement to the Union's application including the corrections sought in Clause 29 of the Award.
