Matter No IRC 1634 of 2007

METAL TRADES (TRAINING WAGE) (STATE) AWARD

Notice of award review pursuant to section 19 of the Industrial Relations Act 1996

Matter No IRC 57 of 2008

METAL TRADES TRAINING WAGE (STATE) AWARD

Application by Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union, New South Wales Branch for variation re State Wage Case 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007

2 Proceedings in Matter No 1634 of 2007 before Commissioner Macdonald in September 2007 established that the Metal Trades (Training Wage) (State) Award 238 IG 1045 ("the Metal Trades Training Award") had not been varied to include wage increases pursuant to the 2004 State Wage Case 132 IR 190, the 2005 State Wage Case 142 IR 337, the 2006 State Wage Case 153 IR 268, or the 2007 State Wage Case 163 IR 253.

3 The parties were in agreement that the 2004, 2005, and 2006 State Wage Case (SWC) increases could be incorporated into the Metal Trades Training Award from 16 January 2008. The parties were unable to agree on the operative date for the 2007 SWC increase.

4 Macdonald C made an ex tempore determination (TR 16/01/08, p10) to the effect of varying the Metal Trades Training Award to reflect the consent positions of the parties and, on the same day, referred the matter for consideration by his Honour the President to be dealt with as a Special Case in accordance with State Wage Case Wage Fixation Principles.

5 On 18 January 2008 the Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union, New South Wales Branch (AFME&PKIU) filed an application, pursuant to s 17 of the Act (Matter No IRC 57 of 2008) for variation of the Metal Trades Training Award to incorporate the determination of Macdonald C and seeking application of the 2007 SWC increase from 20 January 2008.

6 Matter No IRC 57 of 2008 was subject to conciliation by his Honour Deputy President Sams. The parties were unable to agree. Matter No IRC 57 of 2008 was subsequently joined to Matter No 1634 of 2007 and came before the Commission as presently constituted on 28 March 2008 as a Special Case.

7 On that day an ex-tempore decision was enunciated (TR p15 28/3/08) in the following terms:

9 The essence of the difference between the parties is the operative date of the 2007 SWC increase. Principle 8 of the Wage Fixing Principles determined in the 2007 SWC states:

(a) The operative date will be no earlier than the date of the variation to the award.

(b) That at least twelve months have elapsed since the rates in the award were increased in accordance with the State Wage Case 2006 decision except in accordance with Principle 8(h).

(c) In awards where the variation for a safety net adjustment arising from the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 or 2007 State Wage Case decisions is by consent and does not result in an increase in the wage rates actually paid to employees or increase the wage costs for any employer, any applicable 12 months’ delay between variations may be waived.

(d) At the time when the award is to be varied to insert the State Wage Case adjustment (or a proportionate amount in the cases of part-time and casual employees, juniors, trainees, apprentices, employees on a probationary rate, employees on a supported wage or with permits under s 125 of the Act), each union party to the award will be required to give a specific commitment as to the absorption of the increase. In particular, the union commitments will involve the acceptance of absorption of the adjustment to the extent of:

(ii) award wage increases since 29 May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum rates adjustments.

'The rates of pay in this award include the adjustments payable under the State Wage Case 2007. These adjustments may be offset against:

(ii) award wage increases since 29 May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum rates adjustments.'

The above clause will replace the offsetting clause inserted into awards pursuant to the Principles determined in the State Wage Case 2006 decision.

(f) By consent of all parties to an award, where the minimum rates adjustment has been completed, award rates may be expressed as hourly rates as well as weekly rates. In the absence of consent, a claim that award rates be so expressed may be determined by arbitration.

(g) The State Wage Case adjustment will only be available where the rates in the award have not been increased, other than by safety net or State Wage Case adjustments, or as a result of the application of the Minimum Rates Adjustment principle, since 29 May 1991.

(h) The State Wage Case adjustment may apply where the rates in an award have increased under the Work Value and/or Equal Remuneration Principles in accordance with the Commission’s decision as set out in Principles 6(j) and 14(p) respectively.

10 It is also useful to restate Principle 10 of the 2007 SWC Principles at this point:

11 At the outset of proceedings, Mr Walkaden tendered an amended schedule to the application for variation of the Metal Trades Training Award, setting out the detail of the application. The amendments to the schedule are not significant and were not opposed.

1. Amend clause 7 Wages at sub-clause (d) by deleting the entire sub-clause and replacing with the following sub-clause ‘’The rates of pay in this award include adjustments payable under the State Wage Case 2007. These adjustments may be offset against:

(b) award wage increases since May 1991 other than safety net, State Wage Case, and minimum rates adjustments.

2. Amend Part B by deleting the entire Part and replacing with the attached document marked Schedule A.

13 In his submissions, Mr Walkaden relied on the decision of a Full Bench of the Commission in Professional Engineers and Professional Scientists (Private Industry)(State) Award [2005] NSWIRComm 402 in which the Principles applying to a Special Case are discussed. There the Full Bench said:

Except for the flow on of test case provisions, any claim for increases in wages and salaries, or changes in conditions in awards, other than those allowed elsewhere in the principles, will be processed as a special case before a Full Bench of the Commission, unless otherwise allocated by the President.

This principle does not apply to applications for awards consented to by the parties, which will be dealt with in the terms of the Act, or to enterprise arrangements, which will be dealt with in accordance with the Enterprise Arrangements principle.

6 There was no doubt that the Full Bench could grant the operative date sought by APESMA, or some other date, in the exercise of the Commission's discretion, having regard to the requirements of the Act. Relevantly s 10 requires that awards fix 'fair and reasonable conditions of employment for employees' and in the case of the variation of an award after its nominal term has expired, s 17(3)(d) permits variation if the Commission considers that it is not contrary to the public interest to do so.

7 The principles which apply in Special Cases are well settled. The onus falls on the applicant (see Re Pastoral Industry (State) Award 2001 104 IR 168 at [73]), who must demonstrate matters of the kind discussed in Re Operational Ambulance Officers (State) Award [2001] NSWIRComm 331; (2001) 113 IR 384 at [166]:

166 In order to satisfy the requirement for a special case, the applicant must demonstrate that the case has "special attributes" or is "out of the ordinary" so as to take it outside the restrictions which may otherwise apply under the wage fixing principles. In Re Social and Community Services Employees (State) Award [2001] NSWIRComm 274, a Full Bench stated (at [24]):

Thus it can be seen, ... that strict compliance with the wage fixing principles generally or with the work value principle and structural efficiency considerations in particular is not required where as here a case is advanced as a special case.

In saying that we should not be taken to mean that such considerations will necessarily be excluded from the special case. As much is clear from the Crown Employees case. It is however appropriate to observe ... that the present Special Case principle unlike its 1990 predecessor does not require that cases be considered "in accordance with the structural efficiency and other relevant principles". It requires, as was said in the Transport Industry case, that special attributes exist which warrant approval by the Commission despite the restrictive considerations imposed generally by the principles of wage fixation and that is the essential basis upon which the Commission will approach the determination of the present application.

(See also Re Health and Community Employees Psychologists (State) Award [2001] NSWIRComm 302; Re Corrections Health Service Nurses (State) Award (No 2) [2001] NSWIRComm 58; Metal, Engineering and Associated Industries Award 1998 - AIRC Print T4991, 29 December 2000 for discussion of special case principle).

14 Mr Walkaden accepted that the applicant bore the onus of establishing the elements of a Special Case. He submitted that one of the special attributes in this case was the considerable delay experienced by employees in achieving State Wage Case increases, which he put is atypical of a contemporary award and sufficiently out of the ordinary to satisfy the criterion of "special".

15 Mr Walkaden further submitted that s10 of the Act specifies the requirement that awards must fix reasonable conditions of employment, which includes timely application of the State Wage Case increases applying the 12 month rule. It was Mr Walkaden's submission, however, that the delay in this Award has created circumstances which are not reasonable, justifying remedy by departure from the 12 month rule as a Special Case.

16 Mr Walkaden refuted the proposition put by the Australian Federation of Employers and Industries (AFEI) that this matter is distinguishable from the Professional Engineers case on the basis that the applicant did not provide evidence to demonstrate that trainees are paid minimum award rates only. Mr Walkaden acknowledged that survey data was not available. However, he relied on the premise that trainees are often those employed in their first job, are inexperienced and are predominantly teenagers with limited bargaining power.

17 The Electrical Trades Union of Australia, NSW Branch (ETU) and the Australian Workers' Union, New South Wales (AWU) supported the submissions of the AFME&PKIU.

18 Australian Business Industrial (ABI) supported the application and did not oppose an operative date for the 2007 SWC increase of the date of the proceedings, namely 28 March 2008, or no earlier than 31 March 2008.

19 Mr Marriott, appearing on behalf of AFEI, relied on the decision of a Full Bench of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission (AIRC) in the Safety Net Review Wages April 1999 [R1999] (paras 88, 89 Reasons for Decision):

20 AFEI consented to the application of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 SWC increases, but did not support application of the 2007 SWC increase prior to 16 January 2009, asserting that the 12 month rule should be maintained in respect to this increase.

21 AFEI submitted that the applicant had failed to satisfy the criteria for consideration of the matter as a Special Case. Mr Marriott did not deny that there had been considerable delay in the application of the State Wage Case increases in this award and submitted that this factor alone did not meet the requirements of a Special Case.

22 Mr Marriott further submitted that there was no evidence that trainees are paid the minimum wage.

23 In supporting the application, ABI submitted that there is a relevant relationship between the Metal Trades Training Award and the Training Wage (State) Award 2002 341 IG 569 (the Training Wage Award) by virtue of cl 9(i)(b) of the latter award.

24 The Training Wage Award describes its area, incidence and duration in cl 9 in the following terms:

(i) This award shall apply to all classes of Trainees who would ordinarily be covered by any other Parent Award made by the Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales, excluding the County of Yancowinna, other than:

(a) Trainees within the scope of Awards to which the following unions are a principal party:

Shop Assistants and Warehouse Employees' Federation of Australia, Newcastle and Northern, New South Wales.

(b) Trainees engaged within the scope of any Training Wage Awards or Parent Awards with training wage provisions which are in line with this award, including but not limited to the following awards:

Private Hospitals, Aged Care and Disability Services Industry (Training) (State) Award;

(c) Trainees engaged within the scope of any award which refers to the National Training Wage Award, including but not limited to the following awards:

(d) Trainees engaged in the building and construction industry within the scope of coverage of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (New South Wales Branch) will have their conditions and rates of pay determined in accordance with clause 39.3 of the National Building and Construction Industry Award 2000, as varied.

(f) Trainees whose employment falls within the Area, Incidence and Duration of the following awards on the basis that leave is reserved for the parties to make application for their inclusion in this award in the future:

Miscellaneous Workers' - Kindergartens and Childcare Centres, &c. (State) Award;

(g) Trainees employed under the State Public Sector industrial instruments, including but not limited to areas of rail, bus, police, energy, fire, teaching and health and Trainees covered by the Crown Employees (Public Service Training Wage) Award 2002 and the Public Hospital (Training Wage) (State) Award.

(h) Trainees employed by entities established and defined under the Local Government Act 1993, including all Trainees employed under the terms of the Local Government (State) Award 2001 and its successors.

Cement Mixers and Concrete Workers, Central Batch Plants (State) Consolidated Award

Clerical and Administrative Employees in Temporary Employment Services (State) Award

Entertainment and Broadcasting Industry - Live Theatre and Concert (State) Award

General Construction and Maintenance, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, &c. (State) Award

(iii) This award rescinds and replaces the Training Wage Interim (State) Award published 26 April 2002 (332 IG 1248). It shall take effect from the beginning of the first full pay period to commence on or after 6 September 2002 and shall have a nominal term of 12 months.

25 ABI submitted that the Metal Trades Training Award can only apply where its provisions are "in line" with the Training Wage Award. ABI submitted that the Metal Trades Training Award is not "in line" as the rates of pay lag those in the Training Wage Award and accordingly, the Training Wage Award applies, not the Metal Trades Training Award. This could result in undesirable confusion for employers and trainees.

26 ABI submitted that the available remedy is to rescind the Metal Trades Training Award, leaving the Training Wage Award as the operative industrial instrument, or to vary the Metal Trades Training Award to bring it "in line" with the Training Wage Award. ABI submitted that these circumstances contribute to satisfaction of the necessary Special Case criteria such that the application can be accommodated within the SWC Principles.

27 AFEI did not support this argument and submitted that as well as creating confusion, it would be inconsistent with the objects of the Act to allow a situation where an award could be rendered inoperative by the terms of another award.

28 AFEI canvassed the history of training wage awards and submitted that the range of different awards eventuated due to the opposition of a number of unions to a uniform training wage award which had been proposed by employers. AFEI put that agreement had been reached to establish a number of independent training wage awards for particular industries on the understanding that their terms would be broadly the same as the terms under the proposed Training Wage Award.

29 AFEI further submitted that the Metal Trades Training Award was one of those described by AFEI as "splinter awards", which were made in identical terms as the Training Wage Award, but for the area, incidence and duration clause.

30 AFEI referred to the submissions of ABI in Matter No IRC 5147 of 2000 and 5171 of 2000 (the Training Wage Award case), which were adopted and supported by AFEI in those matters, in the following terms:

“10. The parties recognise that it is important that the parity between traineeship rates of pay in New South Wales and federally is preserved. For this reason the parties propose that consideration in any future State Wage Cases be given to the peculiarities of traineeship rates. It is appropriate that the Award and any other specific traineeship award, for example the Clerical Industry (State) Award, Retail Industry (State) Award, Rural Industry (State) Award and the Metal (State) Industry Award be subject to State Wage Case variations on and from the same date.

11. It is appropriate that the rates of pay in training wage awards in New South Wales are increased as soon as possible after any increase to the NTW Award.

14. ABI recognises that many unions modernised and updated the traineeship provisions in their awards as a result of the award review process in accordance with section 19 of the Industrial Relations Act 1996. The majority of variations were in the same terms as the Award application. Any training wage awards or parent awards with training provisions which are in line of [sic] the terms of the Award are exempt from the application.”

31 Mr Marriott submitted that it was always the intention of the parties that the Metal Trades Training Award and others specified in cl 9(i)(b) of the Training Wage Award were independent, with a life of their own, independent of (but in line with) the Training Wage Award. Mr Marriott put that it was the original intention that as soon as the National Training Award variation was made "everybody" would apply for the Training Wage Award to be varied.

32 Mr Marriott concluded that this has obviously not occurred, which he put, further demonstrated the separate identity and course of the Metal Trades Training Award and those referred to in cl 9(i)(b) of the Training Wage Award.

33 AFEI further relied upon variations to other training wage awards in which it was submitted the 12 month rule was applied and no reference was made to any connection with the Training Wage Award. AFEI emphasised that each of these awards was varied to include the 2007 SWC increase with different operative dates to that of the Training Wage Award.

34 The Training Wage Award was varied to include the 2007 SWC increase with effect from 8 October 2007 and adhered to the 12 month rule. Some analysis of the award variations was provided by AFEI in their written submissions. In order to examine their submissions fully, this analysis was expanded by reference to the NSW Industrial Gazettes. Those referred to are:

35 The AFME&PKIU submitted that the Commission need not address the question of nexus with the Training Wage Award or the meaning of the term "in line with" found in cl 9(i)(b) thereof.

36 ABI submitted that the issue was clear and self-evident to the effect that "in line with" means identical with and, where the terms were not the same, the Training Wage Award is the default industrial instrument.

37 AFEI further supported its argument by reference to the range of different dates for application of wage increases.

CONSIDERATION

38 The delay is self evident and, in our view, clearly satisfies the requirements of a Special Case.

39 It is regrettable that this matter suffers from a lack of evidence of the wages actually paid to trainees. However, we accept the proposition that trainees and juniors are generally paid at the minimum wage as was supported by the evidence in the Child Employment Principles Case 2007 (2007) 163 IR 41.

40 However, it is open to reasonable conclusion that employers, either paid the minimum rate and consequently have had the benefit of the delay to the detriment of employees, or have paid in excess of the Metal Trades Training Award and will not be unduly inconvenienced by the variations sought in the time frame put by the Unions. These circumstances, in our view, materially add to the particular circumstances required to constitute a Special Case. We are satisfied that, having regard to the length of delay and the propensity for young people in their first employment to be paid minimum rates, a Special Case has been made out.

41 We are reinforced in this conclusion by the analysis that, if we be incorrect as to payment of trainees at the minimum wage, variation of the Metal Trades Training Award, in the terms of the application, will not result in financial hardship to any affected employer.

42 A further relevant consideration is that should this Award not be varied in the manner sought, it could forever be a 'lagging' award. This would be contrary to the public policy expressed in s 10 of the Act requiring the Commission to set fair and reasonable conditions of employment for employees and would conflict with the repeated efforts of the Commission, through the SWC Principles, to eliminate 'lagging' awards.

43 We further conclude that the use of the term "in line with" cannot mean that an award must be identical with another for it to be "in line with". There may be many and varied circumstances which emerge that justify a particular course in an award and which should be considered on a case by case basis. While it is unnecessary to take this question any further in these proceedings, we note that the original intention of the parties as to uniformity has not been achieved.

44 For these reasons, we grant the application brought by the Unions and supported by ABI and note, in so doing, that a review of variations to the training wage awards referred to by the AFEI reveals that these matters either met the 12 month rule, or were by consent, and consequently neither the application of Principle 8(g) nor the effect of cl 9(i)(b) of the Training Wage Award were subject to any consideration.

Section 19 Award Review Matters

45 We note that Macdonald C attended to all of the issues pertaining to a review of the award, other than the application of the 2007 SWC increase.

46 The amendments identified by the Commissioner are confirmed and with the variation to incorporate the 2007 SWC increase from 31 March 2008, we determine the Metal Trades Training (State) Award to be a reviewed award for the purposes of s19 of the Act.

47 The matters are so concluded and remitted to the Industrial Registrar for the necessary administrative action.
