TASMANIAN INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION Industrial Relations Act 1984 Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association, PHOTOGRAPHIC INDUSTRY AWARD
Award interest REASONS FOR DECISION This matter was referred to me by the Acting President for the purpose of determining whether or not the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association, Tasmanian Branch (the SDAEA) had an interest in the Photographic Industry Award. The Industrial Relations Act 1984 requires me, when dealing with such applications, to take into account such matters as specified in section 63(10)(c) which states, inter alia - (c) that Commissioner shall determine which awards the organisation has an interest in by satisfying himself that - (i) the membership of the organisation consists of or includes members who are employers or employees in the industry or occupation to which the awards stated in its application pursuant to subsection (1)(a)(vii) relate or who are State employees to whom those awards relate; (ii) that membership is consistent with the organisation's rules or constitution a copy of which has been lodged with the Registrar pursuant to subsection (1); and (iii) the organisation being granted an interest in an award or awards would not prejudice the orderly conduct of industrial relations in Tasmania. After hearing submissions from Mr Noonan, representing the SDAEA, in relation to the application, I have satisfied myself that the SDAEA should be granted an interest in the Photographic Industry Award, and I decide accordingly. I have formulated my decision on the facts that:
I will now forward a copy of this decision to the Registrar thus enabling him to make the necessary amendments to the certificate of registration.
