Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Jeld-Wen Glass Australia Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application for a protected action ballot of members of Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union employed by Jeld-Wen Glass Australia Pty Ltd (Jeld-Wen).

[2] The CFMEU has filed a Statutory Declaration of Mr Robert Ross, Organiser, which shows that the CFMEU has been and is genuinely trying to reach an agreement with the employer of the employees who are to be balloted.

[3] Mr Mark Grundy of Jeld-Wen has advised my chambers by email on 20 May 2013 that the company does not oppose the application.

[4] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.

[5] I am satisfied that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order based on the draft order provided by the CFMEU has issued in conjunction with this decision.
