STATEMENT

Fair Work Act 2009
s.739 - Application to deal with a dispute

Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union-Construction and General Division, New South Wales Divisional Branch
v
Bluescope Steel (AIS) Pty Ltd T/A Bluescope Steel
(C2016/7229)

COMMISSIONER RIORDAN SYDNEY, 22 DECEMBER 2016

Manufacturing and associated industries.

[1] I have taken into account the correspondence from the parties.

[2] In my view, it would be extremely inefficient and disharmonious to not allow the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) to intervene in the proceedings.

[3] The AWU will need to comply with the Directions as published on 20 December 2016, as if they were the Applicant.

[4] If BlueScope Steel require additional time to prepare and file their submissions and evidence as a result of the Australian Workers’ Union’s involvement in the matter, an application at the appropriate time for an extension of time to allow for this occurrence will be favourably considered.

[5] The AWU is formally joined as an Applicant in matter C2016/7229.
