Application for approval of the Guala Closures Australia Melbourne Enterprise Agreement 2018.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Guala Closures Australia Melbourne Enterprise Agreement 2018 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Guala Closures Australia Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
The Employer has provided written undertakings. A copy of the undertakings is attached in Annexure A. I am satisfied that the undertakings will not cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement and that the undertakings will not result in substantial changes to the Agreement.
Subject to the undertakings referred to above, and on the basis of the material contained in the application and accompanying statutory declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187, 188 and 190 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
I observe that certain provisions of the Agreement are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, noting clause7.3 of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) and based on the statutory declaration provided by the organisation, I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
The Agreement was approved on 13 December 2018 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 20 December 2018. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 13 December 2022.
