CORRECTION TO DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.394 - Application for unfair dismissal remedy

Mr Trevor Knowles
v
BlueScope Steel Limited
(U2019/11608)

Application for an unfair dismissal remedy.

[1] Pursuant to section 603 of the Fair Work Act 2009, the Decision [2020] FWC 1015 issued on 13 May 2020, is corrected in the ways outlined below.

[2] The following in paragraph [63] and [64] were erroneously included and should be removed:

“[63] Mr Meta testified that the Applicant completed refresher training in CSP031 in June 2019. A copy of the Applicant annual review of CSP031 was attached to Mr Meta’s statement. This document was identical to the annual review of CSP031 submitted by Mr Cadwellen. In the bottom right-hand corner of that document the following note appears:

“Review per MES4106088, GM””

“[64] … As above, Mr Meta reviewed Mr Knowels’ annual review of CSP031 in which he did not state that he long travelled to clear the coil. For a manager who takes his responsibility for safety seriously and testified at length the critical nature of long travelling to clear the coil, this is concerning.”

[3] The Respondent’s representative clarified this issue by way of email on 7 May 2020.

[4] The above paragraphs did not form part of my consideration.
