Application for approval of the Samaras Structural Engineers Workshop Agreement 2014.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Samaras Structural Engineers Workshop Agreement 2014 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Samaras Structural Engineers. The Agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[2] 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.

[3] I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss.186, 187 and 188 of the Act as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.

[4] 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) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers this organisation.

[5] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 4 December 2014. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 3 December 2017.
