Application for approval of the Laminex Wingfield Site Distribution Centre Agreement 2019.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Laminex Wingfield Site Distribution Centre Agreement 2019 (Agreement).

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.
