Application for approval of the Scotts Refrigerated Freightways Pty Ltd (Victoria Branch)

Enterprise Agreement 2015.

[1]        An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the

It has been made by Scotts Refrigerated Freightways Pty Ltd. The Agreement is a single

enterprise agreement.

[2]        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. The Agreement does not cover all of

of the Act I am satisfied that the group of employees was fairly chosen.

bargaining representatives for the Agreement, have given notice under s.183 of the Act that
