Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Jenkin Bros Engineers (Australia) Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application for a protected action ballot of members of “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) employed by Jenkin Bros Engineers (Australia) Pty Ltd (Jenkin Bros).

[2] The AMWU has filed a statement of Mr Vince Pepi, Organiser, which satisfies me that the AMWU has been and is genuinely trying to reach an agreement with Jenkin Bros.

[3] Jenkin Bros has advised, through its representative, that it does not oppose the application.

[4] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.

[5] 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 AMWU has issued in conjunction with this decision.
