Federal Awards To Remain Court Bar
The Full Arbitration Court today dismissed an application by the Railways Commissioners of New South Wales Victoria Tasmania and Western Australia to cancel all Federal awards affecting railways and to remove jurisdiction over the railways. The court held the withdrawal from regulation was to aid states in financial emergency but kept supervision over basic wage and standard hours. It noted resolution requires legislation to end dual control and left options for Commonwealth exclusion or state legislation granting sole railway jurisdiction. The decision limits workers ability to seek entitlements in the Federal Court.
