COMMISSIONER ROE	MELBOURNE, 29 APRIL 2014

Application for approval of the Linfox (Multi-User Site Clarinda) and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Linfox (Multi-User Site Clarinda) and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Linfox T/A Linfox Aust Pty Ltd (the Applicant). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met. The Agreement does not cover all of the employees of the employer however taking into account the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] As the agreement does not contain a flexibility term, pursuant to s.202(4) of the Act, the model flexibility term prescribed by the Fair Work Regulations 2009 is deemed to be a term of the agreement

[4] The National Union of Workers has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 6 May 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 27 February 2017.
