Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Alto Manufacturing Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the National Union of Workers (NUW). It seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Alto Manufacturing Pty Ltd (Alto).

[2] Alto advised that it does not oppose the application. Accordingly I have determined the matter on the basis of the documentation filed.

[3] In support of the application, the NUW filed a statement. The statement was made by Mark Cochrane, an official of the New South Wales Branch of the NUW. The statement was dated 19 October 2015.

[4] For the purposes of s.443(1)(b) of the Act, I am satisfied on the basis of the unchallenged position of the NUW, that the NUW has been and is, genuinely trying to reach an agreement with Alto.

[5] An order based on the draft order provided by the NUW is issued in conjunction with this decision.
