TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union RUBBER TRADES AWARD
Wage rates - third minimum rates adjustment - Principles satisfied - consent matter - application granted - award varied - operative ffpp 15 April 1995 REASONS FOR DECISION Application was made by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (ACSU) to vary the Rubber Trades Award by the granting of the third minimum rates adjustment in a manner consistent with the Commission's Wage Fixing Principles 19941. The Minimum Rates Adjustment Principle provides that:
Mrs Dowd for the applicant in this matter also relied upon precedent decisions of this Commission relating to the granting of the first and second minimum rates adjustments. The Commission was assured that the public interest requirements imposed by Section 36 of the Act would not be offended by the granting of the application. There had been consultation between the ACSU and the employers concerned through the Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited (TCCI) prior to the date of hearing and agreement had been reached as a result. Mr Gates for TCCI confirmed that the supply of documentation and discussions relating to details of the application were sufficient to satisfy all relevant criteria, including the Wage Fixing Principles and public interest and therefore there existed consent. Having regard for all of the evidence and submissions placed before me it is my decision to grant the application in the form presented in Exhibit D1 (as amended), being the third minimum rates adjustment, and the award will be amended accordingly. Date of Effect This variation shall come into force from the beginning of the first full pay period to commence on or after 15 April 1995. Order
