TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

Industrial Relations Act 1984
s.23 application to vary an award

The AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union, Tasmania Branch
(T.4853 of 1994)

CLAY AND MUD PRODUCTS AWARD

Wage rates - State Wage Case December 1993 - arbitrated safety net adjustment

This was an application by The AWU-FIME Amalgamated Union, Tasmania Branch (the Union) for the $8 arbitrated safety net adjustment, determined by a full bench of the Commission in the State Wage decision dated 24 December 1993¹ to be implemented in the Clay and Mud Products Award (the Award).

The Union, in seeking the $8.00 adjustment, advised the Commission that the Award had been restructured and discussions as to enterprise agreements between the parties had occurred, but, with no results to date.

The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited consented to the application.

I am satisfied that the application is not against the guidelines of the Commission, nor the provisions of the Act. The Award will be amended as sought, operative from the first full pay period from the date of this decision.

The Order is attached.
