SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT WATSON	MELBOURNE, 17 MARCH 2015

Application for the approval of the John Beever (Aust) Pty Ltd and AMWU/CFMEU Metal Engineering On-Site Construction Agreement 2014 - 2017.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the John Beever (Aust) Pty Ltd and AMWU/CFMEU Metal Engineering On-Site Construction Agreement 2014 - 2017 (the Agreement).

The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.
