3  Bargaining agents

 (1) Despite the definition of bargaining agent in subsection 4(1) of the pre‑transition Act, an appointment of a bargaining agent ceases to have effect 14 days after the commencement of this Schedule if the appointment relates to:
 (a) making an AWA; or
 (b) varying an AWA (other than varying an AWA in circumstances referred to in paragraph 367(2)(aa), (b), (c) or (d) of the pre‑transition Act).

 (1A) However, paragraph 405(1)(e) of the pre‑transition Act continues to apply in relation to a person whose appointment has ceased to have effect under subclause (1), as if the person continues to be a bargaining agent.

 (2) Despite subsection 334(1) of the pre‑transition Act, an appointment of a bargaining agent made later than 14 days after the commencement of this Schedule is of no effect if the appointment relates to:
 (a) making an AWA; or
 (b) varying an AWA (other than varying an AWA in circumstances referred to in paragraph 367(2)(aa), (b), (c) or (d) of the pre‑transition Act).
