DECISION


In Award No. 41 of 2002 dated 25 November 2002 the Tribunal settled a dispute between Tropik Wood Employees and Allied Workers Union (the "Union") and Tropik Wood Industries Limited (the "Company") concerning the appointment of casual employees as permanent workers under clause 5(b) of the Master Agreement.


By letter dated 6 September 2005 the Union made an application to the Tribunal for intervention by the Tribunal in the face of the Company's non-compliance with the Award.


The application was listed for mention on 30 September 2005. On that day the parties were directed to file written submissions on the application and the Tribunal indicated that an Award would follow on notice.


As the parties had not filed their submissions within the time schedule fixed by the Tribunal, the application was again listed for mention on 30 November 2005. On that day the parties were given further directions in relation to their written submissions.


By letter dated 4 January 2006 the Union informed the Tribunal that it wished to withdraw the application and discontinue the proceedings.


When the dispute was called on for mention on 27 January 2006 Mr Anthony confirmed that the Union sought to withdraw the application. Mr Bale on behalf of the Company did not oppose the application.


AWARD


The Union's application dated 6 September 2005 is withdrawn and the proceedings discontinued.
