Application for approval of the BlueScope Flat Steel Products Granville Enterprise Agreement 2017 - 2020.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the BlueScope Flat Steel Products Granville Enterprise Agreement 2017-2020 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by BlueScope Distribution Pty Ltd T/A BlueScope Sheet Metal Supplies. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The Applicant has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer, however, taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.
The Agreement lodged contained an error at Table 16.2 and Table 16.3. On 5 December 2017, the Applicant filed an amended version of the Agreement pursuant to s.586 of the Act. I am satisfied that the correction should be made and that it is appropriate to do so pursuant to s.586 of the Act.
The Australian Workers’ Union 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.
The Agreement was approved on 11 December 2017 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 18 December 2017. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 11 December 2021.
