COMMISSIONER CARGILL	SYDNEY, 29 JANUARY 2014

Application for approval of the GTE Rail Australia Pty Ltd National Enterprise Agreement 2013.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the GTE Rail Australia Pty Ltd National Enterprise Agreement 2013 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by GTE Rail Australia Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] The Agreement does contain a consultation term however, it is not a consultation term

that fully complies with s205 of the Act. Consequently the model consultation term is taken to

be a term of the Agreement.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] The Australian Rail, Tram and Bus Industry Union (ARTBU) has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 5 February 2014. The nominal expiry date is 31 December 2016.
