PN5

MR KLEYN: Just to say that we are very happy for the agreement to be certified today.

THE DEPUTY PRESIDENT: It is a single issue agreement - - -

PN7

MR KLEYN: It is a single issue, yes. It just provides for long service leave to be - long service leave entitlement after 10 years rather than 15, so I think it is a very good agreement.

The agreement covers long service leave only and the parties have provided the necessary stat decs and I am satisfied have met the requirements of the Act. This agreement came into effect from 31 January 2002 and is to remain in force for a period of three years. An order will issue effective from today's date.
