Loaded rates loom large in Qube IBD ruling

The FWC has granted the RTBU an intractable bargaining declaration that will require the tribunal to weigh into whether Qube wrongly interpreted a 2019 deal as providing all-in loaded rates, at the same time as the union is seeking to have a related multi-million dollar Federal Court underpayments claim continue as a worker-led class action.

Casuals' "significant detriment" justifies axing deal: Bench

A FWC full bench has axed an 11-year-old deal that excluded minimum engagement periods for casuals, finding that it must terminate agreements if their continued operation would be unfair to "any" rather than all covered employees.

FWC bench lights fire under UFU bargaining case

A FWC bench has refused a UFU request to further adjourn its intractable bargaining case with the FRV in an effort to keep the matter "on track" and has scheduled a three-week hearing, 18 months after it became the first vehicle to test the Commission's new deadlock-breaking powers under the Secure Jobs legislation.
