Application for approval of the Rail Commissioner (Maintenance Employees) Enterprise Agreement 2012.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Rail Commissioner (Maintenance Employees) Enterprise Agreement 2012 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by the Rail Commissioner. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[3] The Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia, 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 organisation.

[4] As the Agreement does not contain a consultation term which meets the requirements of s.205 of the Act, the model consultation term is taken to be a term of the Agreement.
