Original judgment source is linked above.
(#P27_935) 22 employees transferred from HWA to ALS but one has since retired (statement of Paul Loewy (Ex ALS 1) at [18])
(#P86_5402) One of the 15 was formerly a member of Professionals Australia, but is now a member of the ASU.
(#P111_8971) For example, the error in annexure PM 1 to the witness statement of Mr Macphee (Ex ASU 1) concerning long service leave. In particular, PM 1 erroneously states that pro rata long service leave is only available under the ALS Agreement after 7 years continuous service.

(#P151_16602) Hawkins v Clayton (1988) 164 CLR 539 at 570
(#P154_17293) Assuming the direction was lawful and reasonable and ALS had complied with its consultation obligations
(#P155_17634) Clause 15.2 of the HWA Agreement
(#P158_17858) Clause 15.1 of the HWA Agreement
(#P159_17973) That is, additional to their ordinary hours of work

(#P169_18676) Clause 4.1.1(f) of the ALS Agreement
(#P172_18785) Clauses 4.2.3 and 4.2.4 of the ALS Agreeement
(#P193_20451) ALS submits that, whilst it has no plans for a major change in working hours, it could not guarantee its employees that such a change may not be required in the future. In the event it was required, the ALS Agreement has a clause based on the Commission model consultation clause in respect of a proposed change to regular roster ordinary hours of work and ALS would comply with that obligation (ALS' written submissions dated 16 October 2015 at [17]).
