Undertakings
The Employer has provided written undertakings dated 8 November 2024. Those undertakings are attached at Annexure A to this decision and become terms of the Agreement.

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