CONCILIATION AND ARBITRATION (ORGANIZATIONS) ACT 1974 No. 89 of 1974 - SECT 8

8. Section 139 of the Principal Act is amended by adding at the end thereof
the following sub-sections:-



"(5) The Registrar shall, in addition to any other relevant matters, have
regard to the question whether there is, in relation to an applicant
organization, an associated body, as defined in Part VIIIB, registered under a
State Act and whether the reason the change is sought is to enable the
organization, in addition to representing members under this Act, to represent
under a State Act the class of persons who would, if the change were consented
to, become eligible for membership.



"(6) In the case of an alteration to a rule which may effect a change in the
persons eligible to be members of a branch of the organization that is
registered under the law of a State, the Registrar shall, before consenting or
certifying, as the case may be, give notice of the proposed change to the
Industrial Registrar or similar officer appointed under the law of the State
in which the branch operates and, if so requested, consult with that
Industrial Registrar or officer.".
