TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

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

Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union
(T.4915 of 1994)

SHIPBUILDERS AWARD

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

REASONS FOR DECISION

This was an application by  the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (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 Shipbuilders  Award (the Award).

The Union produced a draft order and in seeking the increase advised that to its knowledge there had been no restructuring nor any enterprise agreements settled in the area of its jurisdiction..

The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited consented to the application subject to confirmation of the correctness of the Union's draft order.

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 to commence on or after the date of this decision.

An order will be issued in due course.
