COMMISSIONER RYAN	MELBOURNE, 13 APRIL 2015

Application for approval of the Hospira Australia Pty Ltd (Mulgrave Maintenance & Laboratory) AMWU/CEPU Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Hospira Australia Pty Ltd (Mulgrave Maintenance & Laboratory) AMWU/CEPU Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) and was made by Hospira Australia Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

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

[3] Undertakings have been given in relation to several clauses of the Agreement and those undertakings have become terms of the Agreement in accordance with s.191(1) of the Act and are appended at Appendix A.

[4] Pursuant to s.190(4) of the Act, I have sought the views of the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) and Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (CEPU) with respect to these undertakings.

[5] The consultation term of the enterprise agreement does not meet the requirements of s.205(1) and (1A) of the Fair Work Act as amended as from 1 January 2014. Therefore in accordance with the requirement of s.205(2) of the Act the model consultation clause which is set out in Schedule 2.3 of the Fair Work Regulations is taken to be a term of the agreement. The model consultation clause is attached at Appendix B.

[6] Each of the AMWU and CEPU, being bargaining representatives 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 AMWU and CEPU.

[7] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54(1), will operate from 20 April 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 October 2018.
