SUPPLEMENTARY DECISION (No.2)
[2005] NSWIRComm 1077
1 Pursuant to the provisions of S.130 of the 1996 Industrial Relations Act, BlueScope Steel (AIS) Pty Limited lodged a notification of an industrial dispute which was allocated to me. Operators at the products berth of BlueScope Steel are members of the Australian Workers' Union. They commenced a strike on Monday, 29 November, 2004. The industrial dispute centred around negotiations for a new enterprise agreement to cover the operators. They are currently covered by the terms of the BlueScope Steel (AIS) Pty Limited - Port Kembla Steelworks Employees Award and the BHP Steel (AIS) Pty Limited Port Kembla Products Berth Enterprise Development Agreement which had expired and was the subject of current negotiations which had stalled.
