Trade Union Training. The parties recognise that workplace harmony and productivity can be diminished by an ineffective and unskilled approach to industrial relations. Accordingly, it is agreed that trade union training for delegates will take place in order to provide union delegates with the skills and knowledge required to address this important issue. A union delegate is entitled to, and the employer must grant, up to five days paid leave during normal working hours each year to attend trade union courses including courses which are directed at the enhancement of the operation of the dispute resolution procedure in this Agreement and regarding the operation of this Agreement, the Award and the Fair Work Act 2009. A delegate who participates in training under this clause shall be deemed to have used the equivalent amount of their entitlement to Dispute Resolution Training Leave under the award, on a day for day basis. The Union must give the Company six weeks’ notice, or such shorter period of notice as the employer may agree to accept, of the delegate’s intention to attend such courses and the amount of leave to be taken. The notice to the employer must include details of the type, content and duration of the course to be attended. The taking of such leave must be arranged having regard to the operational requirements of the employer so as to minimise any adverse effect on those requirements: however, the employer will not unreasonably refuse to grant leave on operational grounds.
Trade Union Training. Any reasonable request of an employee nominated by the Union to attend training courses of Union education shall be given reasonable consideration. The leave granted for training purposes will be paid at the employee’s normal rate of pay. Leave shall be granted where the Company is satisfied that the scope, content and level of the training is of such a nature as to be calculated to assist in reducing labour disputes and in advancing employee relations in the Company.

Payment of wages whilst training shall be at the rate that the employee would have earned if the employee had been at work.
Trade Union Training. Upon application, a Facility Worker, Leading Hand, Supervisor or Driver, being an elected TWU delegate who has nominated for and been accepted by the TWU to attend a trade union training course, shall, upon notification in writing thereof to the Company by the branch secretary of the TWU, be released up to five days on leave with pay each calendar year, non-cumulative, to attend trade union training courses subject to the following conditions:
Trade Union Training. 12.1 An Employee elected or appointed to the position of Delegate will be allowed 8 days leave without loss of pay to attend Union training courses conducted and/or approved by the Union, provided that the Union will provide the Employer seven (7) days notice of the enrolment of an eligible Employee including details of the course and time required. This leave is not cumulative from year to year. Only rostered shifts will be paid for; no overtime will be paid whilst on such leave.

Trade Union Training. 1. Job security and duty to notify An employee shall have the opportunity to participate in a course approved by the training workgroup and lasting no more than one month if the need for training has been jointly identified by the employer and employee and partic- ipation in the course can take place without causing any substantial problems to the enterprise, without such participation affecting his or her employment. Should such training leave be refused, the shop xxxxxxx shall be informed no later than 10 days before the beginning of the course of the reason why grant- ing the leave would cause substantial problems. Notification of the intention to participate in a course must be provided as ear- ly as possible. If the course lasts no more than one week, notification must be provided at least three weeks before the beginning of the course. For longer courses, notification must be provided at least six weeks before the beginning of the course.
