Application for approval of the PROJECT LABOUR SOLUTIONS PTY TRUST (THE TRUSTEE FOR) T/As PROJECT LABOUR SOLUTIONS PTY LTD and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Labour Hire Enterprise Agreement 2024-2026
The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the PROJECT LABOUR SOLUTIONS PTY TRUST (THE TRUSTEE FOR) T/As PROJECT LABOUR SOLUTIONS PTY LTD and the CFMEU (Victorian Construction and General Division) Subcontractors Labour Hire Enterprise Agreement 2024-2026 (the Agreement) pursuant to s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
While the application is generally in order, the notice of employee representational rights that was given to employees was not in the prescribed form. However, I am satisfied that this constitutes a minor procedural or technical error for the purposes of s 188(5)(a) and that the employees covered by the Agreement are not likely to have been disadvantaged by the error. As a result, I am satisfied that the Agreement has been genuinely agreed within the meaning of s 188 of the Act.
On the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval has been met.
The CFMEU, being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s 201(2), I note that the Agreement covers the CFMEU.
The Agreement was approved on 2 January 2025.
