DEPUTY PRESIDENT ASBURY BRISBANE, 20 JANUARY 2015

Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Woolworths Ltd TA Brismeats.

[1] This decision concerns an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by The Australasian Meat Industry Employees Union (AMIEU). The AMIEU seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Woolworths Ltd trading as Brismeats (Employer).

[2] The Employer has advised that it does not oppose the application.

[3] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers as I am satisfied it is not necessary to hold a hearing.

[4] On the basis of the submissions of the AMIEU and a statement signed by Mr Warren Roy Earle, Organiser of the AMIEU, I am satisfied that the requirements in ss443(1)(a) and (b) have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An Order [PR560292] based on the draft provided by the AMIEU will issue at the same time as this Decision.
