Still waiting for justice

Sacked crane driver Barry Hemsworth has been waiting more than 178 days and has been to court at least four times yet still hasn't had a chance to have his case heard.

A jurisdictional argument was due to be heard by the full bench of the NSW Industrial Relations Commission (IRC) on March 29 to decide if Barry's case could continue in the NSW jurisdiction. A case launched by Botany Cranes and Forklifts in the Federal Court has been adjourned pending the NSW IRC decision.

Claims in Commission in Tristar case

Automotive parts maker Tristar Steering and Suspension Australia director Cheng Hong claimed before a NSW Industrial Relations Commission inquiry on March 23 that Federal Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey told him to sack his workforce and re-employ them on Australian Workplace Agreements (Sydney Morning Herald, March 23), but Mr Hockey denies the allegation.

In a statement issued on March 23 Mr Hockey said: "At no stage did I tell the company to retrench the workers and re-employ them on individual contracts undertaking the same work.

"This is an attempt by the company to divert attention away from their obligations to pay the full redundancy to their employees."

"At no stage did I encourage the company to break the law."

The company is accused of trying to avoid paying redundancy to staff members.

Further evidence was due to be heard on March 28 with the matter then to resume again on April 17.
