v

(B2018/348)
| Deputy President Gostencnik | SYDNEY, 9 MAY 2018 |
Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Schindler Lifts Australia Pty. Ltd.
This is an application by the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) (Applicant) made under s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Schindler Lifts Australia Pty. Ltd. (Respondent).
On 8 May 2018 my associate was advised that the Respondent neither consented nor objected to the application. The Respondent did not wish to be further heard.
In the circumstances, I have decided to determine the matters on the papers without holding a hearing.
On the basis of the material before me, including the statutory declaration of Mr B Terzic 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 PR606910.
