DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.437—Protected action

Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union
v
Veolia Water Australia Pty Ltd
(B2014/153)

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT HARRISON SYDNEY, 11 JULY 2014

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Veolia Water Australia Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the Australian Municipal, Administrative, Clerical and Services Union (ASU). The ASU seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Veolia Water Australia Pty Ltd (the Employer).

[2] The Employer advised that it does not oppose the application. I have received, and rely upon a witness statement of Mr Ben Kruse, an ASU organiser, providing information about matters relevant to s.443 of the Act.

[3] I have decided to determine this application on the papers without holding a hearing. I am satisfied that each of the relevant requirements of the Act, and s.443 in particular, have been met. Accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR552986] based on the amended draft order provided by the ASU will be issued in conjunction with this decision.
