Application for approval of the Metcash Food & Grocery Pty Ltd and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2015: Kidman Park Operations.

[1] An application has been made for approval of a single-enterprise agreement known as the Metcash Food & Grocery Pty Ltd and National Union of Workers Enterprise Agreement 2015: Kidman Park Operations (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Metcash Food & Grocery Pty Ltd (the Applicant).

[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] The National Union of Workers, being the bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that they want the Agreement to cover them. In accordance with s.201(2) of the Act I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 14 April 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 12 February 2018.
