Sydney Morning Herald (June 5, 1971). The retail firms involved were Myers, Woolworths, Waltons, Coles, David Jones and Grace Bros. It has been estimated that the unions will gain some 130,000 new members as a result of the arrangement.

The original order for cancellation of registration had been made with a suspending clause in order that the unions might have an opportunity of reaffirming their intention to operate within the law: Metal Industries Association v. Boilermakers' Society of Australia (7/5/71), 1971 A.I.L.R. Rep. 272. The Industrial Appeal Court then ruled that in certain respects the order had gone beyond the Commission's jurisdiction and should be wholly set aside: Boilermakers' Society of Australia v. Metal Industries Association (4/6/71), 1971 A.I.L.R. Rep. 524. More legal manoeuvring on the unions' part caused a postponement of further proceedings in the Commission for a short time (see Metal Industries Association v. Boilermakers' Society of Australia (15 and 18/6/71), 1971 A.I.L.R. Rep. 432), and at a later stage it was obvious that the Commission was still not convinced that the unions proposed to mend their ways, but the three Commissioners were divided on whether an order for cancellation should be made immediately. The majority favoured a further adjournment to give the unions more time to demonstrate their intentions: Metal Industries Association v. Boilermakers' Society of Australia (30/7/71), 1971 A.I.L.R. Rep. 590.
