Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Australian Red Cross Blood Service.

[1] This decision concerns an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the Queensland Nurses’ Union of Employees. The Queensland Nurses’ Union of Employees seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of the Australian Red Cross Blood Services.
