On behalf of the miners, cfMEU had argued that his dismissals were not genuine layoffs, as their work still had to be carried out, and it would have been reasonable to redeploy them to an associate unit of Kestrel, Rio Tinto Coal Australia Pty Limited (RTCA), of which Kestrel is a subsidiary, or within the Rio Tinto Ltd (Rio Tinto) group. In addition to Kestrel, RTCA had three other subsidiaries operating coal mines. Rio Tinto has also had other related companies outside the rtca group (RTCA group). Kestrel stated, however, that the jobs were redundant and that it had considered all redeployment options within Kestrel and the RTCA group prior to the dismissal of the miners. Kestrel also argued that it did not interfere with the power to govern to redeploy miners to Rio Tinto Group facilities. Once an application has been approved or rejected, it will no longer appear in the list below. To find an agreement that has been approved or varied, please go find an agreement. If your application has already been filed, you can verify the status of your contract by sending an email to the Commission`s team for the agreementsprogressenquiry@fwc.gov.au agreements. This page contains a list of applications for approval or modification of a business agreement currently being considered by the Fair Work Commission. The list of applications includes the applicant`s number, the name of the agreement, the title of the agreement, economic activity, the date the application was filed, the approval or difference of the application, and the status of the application. It was therefore not reasonable for Kestrel to be redistributed within the company of a non-RTCA unit.

In light of all the above findings, Commissioner Spencer concluded that Kestrel had found that the layoffs were genuine layoffs.
