Membership Report

ANTHONY MCCONNON

As you read this article, THA Industrial Relations Manager Merv Saltmarsh, Industry Skills and Work Force Advisor Pete Handy and myself are on the road delivering Industrial Relations / Workforce Development sessions to THA members around the state. At each session, Merv focuses on the recent decision handed down by the productivity commission in regards to penalty rates and what bearing it will have on our industry. Pete has also been updating members on the THA’s Great Customer Experience, the THA’s Ambassador Program and School Based Apprenticeships. Sessions commenced in the North West on the 27th of March and with the assistance of David Morgan, we kicked off at the Comfort Hotel Townhouse Hotel. Many thanks to Mark who waited at the venue late on Sunday evening to ensure we were able to access our accommodation. From there we made our way to Clint Walker’s Stanley Seaview Inn where THA Accommodation President John Dabner also gave attendees an overview of the state government’s new policy on AIR BnB. After leaving Stanley we headed to the Tullah Lakeside Lodge where we caught up with Charmaine, Gavin and Steve. The venue sits on the banks of Lake Rosebery and has been run by the de Villiers family since 2011. The lodge has undergone an extensive refurbishment during that time and has also just had a magnificent conference room added to the venues facilities.
