Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Blowflex Mouldings Pty Ltd.

[1] This decision concerns applications for protected action ballots of members of the National Union of Workers employed by Blowflex Mouldings Pty Ltd in Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania.

[4] In the circumstances I am satisfied that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met and that, accordingly, orders must be made. Order based on the draft orders provided by the NUW have issued in conjunction with this decision.
