(B2011/141)
COMMISSIONER GAY | MELBOURNE, 6 JULY 2011 |
Proposed protected action ballot by employees of JDI Engineering Pty Ltd.
[1] This is an application pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) (the Union) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of JDI Engineering Pty Ltd (JDI Engineering).
[2] The Union advised by email on 6 July 2011 that “the AMWU has verbal confirmation from Mr Jim Koukas from JDI that they will not be contesting the application” and “on that basis, we would like to request for this matter to be dealt with on papers”. As a consequence my Associate spoke with Mr Koukas of JDI Engineering who confirmed that the company was not to contest the application.
[3] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers as I am satisfied it is not necessary to hold a hearing.
[4] I am satisfied that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order based on the draft order provided by the Union has issued in conjunction with this decision.
