v
Fonterra Brands Pty Ltd
(B2012/862)
COMMISSIONER ASBURY | BRISBANE, 14 JUNE 2012 |
Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Fonterra Brands Pty Ltd.
[1] This decision concerns an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU). The AWU seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Fonterra Brands Pty Ltd (Employer).
[2] The Employer has advised that it does not oppose the application.
[3] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers as I am satisfied it is not necessary to hold a hearing.
[4] On the basis of the submissions of the AWU and a sworn statement made by Mr James Martin, Organiser for the AWU, I am satisfied that the requirements in ss443(1)(a) and (b) have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR525188] based on the draft provided by the AWU will issue at the same time as this decision.
