Application for approval of the K&S Freighters Pty Ltd Transport Employees (Melbourne Full Load) Union Collective Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the K&S Freighters Pty Ltd Transport Employees (Melbourne Full Load) Union Collective Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by K&S Freighters Pty Ltd. The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[4] The Transport Workers’ Union of Australia 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 26 March 2014. The nominal expiry date is 31 December 2016.
