Fair Work Act 2009
s.437—Protected action
Australian Workers’ Union
v
Thales Australia Limited
(B2022/1613)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY | MELBOURNE, 27 OCTOBER 2022 |
Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Thales Australia Limited.
This is an application by the Australian Workers’ Union (Applicant) made under s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Thales Australia Limited (Respondent).
The Respondent was given multiple opportunities to comment on the application but chose not to do so.
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 Mr Michael Ivill 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 PR747287.
