DEPUTY PRESIDENT GOOLEY	MELBOURNE, 17 JUNE 2013

Application for approval of the First Labour Hire Pty Ltd Metals Labour Hire Agreement 2011.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the First Labour Hire Pty Ltd Metals Labour Hire Agreement 2011 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU). The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act, as are relevant to this application for approval, have been met.

[3] The application was not lodged within 14 days after the agreement was made. Pursuant to s.185(3)(b), in all the circumstances I consider it fair to extend the time for making the application to the date it was actually made.

The AMWU, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 17 June 2013 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 23 June 2013. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2013.
