Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation
v
Melton City Council
(B2023/40)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY | MELBOURNE, 23 JANUARY 2023 |
Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Melton City Council.
This is an application by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (Applicant) made under s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Melton City Council (Respondent).
On 23 January 2023, my Associate was advised that the Respondent did not object to the application.
In the circumstances, I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.
On the basis of the material before me, including the declaration of Ms Cassia Drever-Smith of the Applicant setting out the steps taken by it in bargaining with the Respondent and that it has been, and is, genuinely trying to reach agreement with the Respondent, I am satisfied that there is a notification time in relation to the proposed agreement and that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met.
An order has been separately issued in PR749889.
