COMMISSIONER ROBERTS	SYDNEY, 14 JANUARY 2015

Application for approval of the Careys Freight Lines Transport Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Carey’s Freight Lines Transport Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by Carey’s Freight Lines (Tamworth). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[4] The Transport Workers’ Union of Australia, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wishes to be covered by the Agreement. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers that organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 21 January 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 13 January 2016.
