PN83

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Can I have the appearances, please.

PN84

MR N. KEATS: Good morning, your Honour, I seek leave to appear on behalf of the Textile Clothing and Footwear Union of Australia. I also mention the appearance of Ms Brooks who has previously appeared on these matters on behalf of their respondent members of Australian Business Industrial.

PN85

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Leave is granted, Mr Keats. What do you want me to do with Ms Brooks?

PN86

MR KEATS: I just want to mention that Ms Brooks consents to the document that I'm about to hand up as being a proper list of respondents that should be added to the Textile Industry Award, and if the Commission is minded to add these respondents to schedule A that the other roping-in award should be set aside that were part of these proceedings.

PN87

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. I've also received correspondence from Mr Halls of AIG indicating that they have perused your final list and they support the variations. Thank you, Mr Keats. I'll mark that exhibit as exhibit TCFUA1.

OFF THE RECORD [10.09am]

RESUMES [10.10am]

PN89

THE VICE PRESIDENT: On the basis of the agreed position set in exhibit TCFUA 1, what I propose to do is vary the respondency list in the Textile Industry Award 2000 to include each of the employers set out in exhibit TCFUA. I make that variation in part settlement of all of the disputes that are listed before me this morning and further I will set aside the relevant roping-in award, I think its roping-in award number three.

PN90

MR KEATS: That's correct, your Honour.

PN91

THE VICE PRESIDENT: All right, nothing further?

PN92

MR KEATS: No, your Honour.

PN93

THE VICE PRESIDENT: All right, thank you for your assistance in this matter Mr Keats and I appreciate its taken some time. If there is nothing further I'll adjourn.
