Application for approval of the Verticraft NSW Pty Ltd / CFMEU Collective Agreement 2024-2027
The Construction, Forestry and Maritime Employees Union (CFMEU) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Verticraft NSW Pty Ltd / CFMEU Collective Agreement 2024-2027 (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 (NERR) that was given to employees was not in the prescribed form, nor was the NERR provided to employees within 14 days of notification time. However, I am satisfied that these constitute minor procedural or technical errors 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 errors. 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 10 October 2024.
