Industrial Relations Act 1984
s.23 application for award or variation of award

Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union
(T9622 of 2001)

AERATED WATERS AWARD

 

COMMISSIONER P A IMLACH

HOBART, 28 JUNE 2001

Award variation - fourth MRA - application granted - operative ffpp 12 July 2001

REASONS FOR DECISION

This was an application made under section 23(1) of the Industrial Relations Act 1984 (the Act) by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (the AMACSU) for a variation to be made to the Aerated Waters Award (the award).

The AMACSU sought the implementation of the fourth Minimum Rates Adjustment (MRA) in the award: a draft order was provided in the application.

At the hearing the AMACSU reminded the Commission that the MRA process had been commenced in the award in matter T7902 of 1998 and this application was the final step in the agreed process specified in exhibit P4 in that previous matter.

The AMACSU submitted that the variation requested was in compliance with the relevant Principles of the Commission, and the granting of the application was not against the public interest.

The Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Limited confirmed its consent to the variation proposed and advised its agreement to the AMACSU's submissions and the draft order.

It was also agreed between the parties that the operative date for the proposed variation be the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 July 2001.

I accept the submissions of the parties and the application is granted.

An order operative from the first full pay period to commence on or after 12 July 2001 is attached.
