The National Union of Workers has failed to nail Australian Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd T/A Australian Pharmaceutical Industries (API) over a meal allowance claim. Commissioner McKinnon in Melbourne on 26 October 2017 ruled “that meal allowance is not payable under clause 4.4 of the Agreement to employees who can reasonably return home for a meal at any time during a period of work that includes ordinary hours, meal and/or rest breaks and more than one hour of overtime.”
