The Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union will seek to reinstate all clauses that were banned in workplace agreements under the Coalition’s building industry code of conduct. A proposed multi-employer agreement for heating, ventilation and airconditioning manufacturers may become a test case for Labor’s workforce reforms, which scrapped the building code. Actus Workplace Lawyers principal Stephen Smith notes that some airconditioning companies have entered into pattern agreements with the AMWU in recent years; he says hundreds of companies could be forced to adopt the same wages and conditions if the union seeks to vary the agreement to include other employers.
