COMMISSIONER HARPER-GREENWELL	MELBOURNE, 31 JANUARY 2020

Application for approval of the PPG Clayton Site Engineering Agreement - 2019.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the PPG Clayton Site Engineering Agreement - 2019 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by PPG Industries Australia Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

[2] 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 the factors in Section 186(3) and (3A) I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

[3] The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) 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) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[4] The Agreement was approved on 31 January 2020 and, in accordance with s.54, will operate from 7 February 2020. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 1 July 2023.
