CPSU-SPSF Rules Changes


RULE CHANGE APPLICATION RE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PRIVATISED STATE CORPORATIONS

The Union on 10 February 2010 lodged with Fair Work Australia an application for consent to alter its eligibility rules to enrol persons employed in the State of Western Australia in: correctional centres; racing and wagering; vocational or adult education; traffic law detection, prosecution and enforcement; and vehicle learner driver assessments and drivers license issuing, where those activities were formally undertaken by the State of Western Australia but have now been contracted to other providers.

The alterations are to add new sub-paragraphs (s) to Chapter A, Rule 2. Part II, Section 1 (H) and new sub-paragraphs (d) to Chapter A, Rule 3, Part II, Section 1 (B) (5).

This is to enable the Union to continue to represent members employed in those occupations at present operated by the Western Australian Government but which will or may be privatised in the future, and to maintain continuity of representation for employees of the new employers.

These employees have long been represented in the WA State industrial relations jurisdiction by this Union's State Associated Union, the Civil Service Association of WA.

Any queries in relation to the application should be addressed to:

David Carey
Federal Secretary
CPSU-SPSF Group

RULE CHANGE APPLICATION RE NSW PRIVATISED PRISONS

The Union on 18 June 2009 lodged in the Australian Industrial Registry an application for consent to alter its eligibility rules to enroll persons employed in private prisons in New South Wales, other than at the Junee Correctional Centre.

The alterations are to add new sub-paragraphs (s) to Chapter A, Rule 2, Part II, Section 1 (D) and new sub-paragraphs (r) to Chapter A, Rule 3, Part II, Section 1 (B) (1).

This is to enable the Union to continue to represent members employed in prisons at present operated by the New South Wales Government but which will or may be privatised in the future, and to maintain continuity of representation for employees of the new employers, who will be "national system employers" in terms of the Fair Work Act 2009.

These employees have long been represented in the NSW State industrial relations jurisdiction by this Union's State Associated Union, the Public Service Association of NSW.

Any queries in relation to the application should be addressed to:

David Mendelssohn
Senior Federal Industrial Officer

RULE CHANGE APPLICATION RE NSW PRIVATISED PRISONS

The Union on 18 June 2009 lodged in the Ausralian Industrial Registry an application for consent to alter its eligibility rules to continue its eligibility to represent members employed by State Government-owned prisons in New South Wales which are sold or leased to private operators or by other private prisons, other than the Junee Correctional Centre.

The alteration is to add a new sub-paragraph (s) to Clause (D) in Section I Part II of Rule 2 and a new sub-paragraph (r) in Clause (B) of Section I of Part II of Rule 3 of Chapter A.

Consent to this application will bring the Union's eligibility rules into harmony with those of its associated State-registered union in NSW, the Public Service Association of NSW, and maintain continuity of representation for employees of privatised former Government-owned prisons in NSW.

Any queries in relation to the application should be addressed to:

RULE CHANGE APPLICATION RE CAMPUS LIVING VILLAGES

The Union on 16 January 2008 lodged in the Australian Industrial Registry an application for consent to alter its eligibility rules to enable it to represent the industrial interests of employees of Campus Living Villages Pty Ltd and Campus Living Funds Management Limited ("CLV").

The alteration is to add a new sub-paragraph (v) to Chapter A, Rule 2, Part II, Section III, paragraph 1 and a new sub-paragraph (u) to Chapter A, Rule 3, Part II, Section III, paragraph 1.

Consent to this application will enable the Union to continue to represent members transferred to CLV from a university and to provide industrial representation to other employees of CLV, who at the present time are unionised.

On 18 June 2009, the Union lodged in the Australian Indusrial Registry an amended application, so that the application, if consented to by a Presidential Member of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, will not entitle the Union to enrol as members employees of CLV who are employed in construction work or, up to and including the level of leading hand, in maintenance work.

The application is D2008/102.

RULE CHANGE APPLICATION RE NSW COAL INDUSTRY AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY PROFESSIONALS

The Union on 16 January 2008 lodged in the Australian Industrial Registry an application for consent to alter its eligibility rules to continue its eligibility to represent members employed by the former Joint Coal Board of New South Wales by including successor bodies to the JCB in the rule.

The rule change would also make eligible for membership of the Union para-professional and technical employees in the electricity supply industry in New South Wales, who formerly were members of the NSW State-registered union called the Electricity Supply Professional Officers Association (ESPOA), which has now amalgamated with the Union's State-registered Associate Body in NSW, the Public Service Association of NSW.

The first alteration is to add new words referring to successor bodies to sub-paragraph (n) of Chapter A, Rule 2, Part II, Section 1 (D) and sub-paragraph (n) of Chapter A, Rule 3, Part II, Section 1 (B) (1).

The second alteration is to add a new sub-paragraph (s) to Chapter A, Rule 2, Part II, Section 1 (D) and a new sub-paragraph (r) to Chapter A, Rule 3, Part II, Section 1 (B) (1).

Consent to this application will bring the Union's eligibility rules into harmony with those of its associated State-registered union in NSW, the Public Service Association of NSW, and maintain continuity of representation for employees of the former Joint Coal Board of NSW.

The application is D2008/101.
