COMMISSIONER RIORDAN SYDNEY, 10 SEPTEMBER 2014

Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Visionstream Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by The Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU). It seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Visionstream Pty Ltd (the Employer).

[2] The Employer advised that it does not oppose the application. Accordingly I have determined the matter on the basis of the documentation filed.

[3] In support of the application, the CEPU filed a statement dated 9 September 2014 made by Mr David Mier, Assistant National Secretary.

[4] For the purposes of s.443(1)(b) of the Act, I am satisfied on the basis of the unchallenged position of the CEPU, that the CEPU has been, and continues to be, genuinely trying to reach an agreement with the Employer.

[5] An order [PR555300] based on the draft order provided by the CEPU is issued in conjunction with this decision.
