TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
Industrial Relations Act 1984
Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union
Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia,
TEXTILE AWARD
Wage rates ‑ State Wage Case December 1993 ‑ arbitrated safety net adjustment
REASONS FOR DECISION
These applications by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union and the Textile, Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia, Tasmanian Branch, (the Unions) were for the variation of the Textile Award to give effect to the $8.00 arbitrated safety net adjustment determined by the Full Bench in the 24 December 1993 State Wage Case decision1.
Mrs Dowd and Mr Shirkey for the Unions informed the Commission that the minimum rates adjustment (MRA) process was all but completed with one MRA adjustment still to be processed for clerical employees. The Commission was also advised by Mrs Dowd that some workplace bargaining discussions were taking place, albeit it is in an area subject to federal award coverage.
Mr Clues appearing for the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited supported the application.
In all of the circumstances the award will be varied in the manner requested operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after the date of this decision.
The order is attached.
