Substantial Rule changes in relation to the New Union Project: on the 6th of December 2018, the Fair Work Commission issued their Decision.
You can read it here: attachment.
We recently converted the position of NSW Regional Secretary – Vehicle Division to an honorary position, however, the Rule change neglected to deal with how the vacancy would be filled. We have subsequently lodged an application with the Fair Work Commission that provides for the manner in which the vacancy can be filled. You can read it here: attachment.
