Application for approval of the Swanson Industries Enterprise Agreement 2024

  1. Swanson Industries (Engineering) Pty Ltd (“Employer”) has made an application for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Swanson Industries Enterprise Agreement 2024 (“Agreement”). The application is made under s 185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (“Act”). The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.

  2. The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union”, known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (“AMWU”) was a bargaining representative for the Agreement. It supports approval of the Agreement.

  3. The Employer has provided two written undertakings (“Undertakings”). Copies of the Undertakings are attached in Annexures A and B. I am satisfied that the Undertakings are not likely to cause financial detriment to any employee covered by the Agreement or to result in substantial changes to the Agreement.

  4. The Commission sought the views of the AMWU and the employee bargaining representatives in respect of the Undertakings.

  5. Pursuant to s 190(3) of the Act, I accept the Undertakings. The Undertakings are taken to be a term of the Agreement.

  6. Having regard to the Undertakings and the material in the application and accompanying declaration, I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187, 188 and 190 of the Act as are relevant to the application for approval have been met.

  7. The AMWU has given notice under s 183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. As required by s 201(2) of the Act, I note that the Agreement covers the AMWU.

  8. The Agreement is approved. In accordance with s 54 of the Act, the Agreement will operate from 10 December 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 June 2027.
