I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 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 s.186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

1. The United Workers’ Union (UWU), being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, 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 UWU.
