An industrial matter is a matter that affects or relates to—

the privileges, rights or functions of—

employers or employees; or

persons who have been, or propose to be, or who may become, employers or employees; or

a matter the court or commission considers has been, is, or may be a cause or contributory cause of an industrial action or industrial dispute.

However, a matter is not an industrial matter if it is the subject of a proceeding for—
