Fair Work Act 2009
s.437—Protected action
The Australian Workers’ Union
v
Adelaide Brighton Cement Limited
(B2022/1129)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY | MELBOURNE, 26 JULY 2022 |
Proposed protected action ballot of employees of Adelaide Brighton Cement Limited
This is an application by the Australian Workers’ Union (Applicant) made under s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Adelaide Brighton Cement Limited (Respondent).
The Respondent did not take up any of the opportunities it was given to comment on the application.
In the circumstances, I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.
On the basis of the material before me, including the declaration of Mr Gary Henderson of the Applicant setting out the steps taken by it in bargaining with the Respondent and that it has been, and is, genuinely trying to reach agreement with the Respondent, I am satisfied that there is a notification time in relation to the proposed agreement and that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met.
An order has been separately issued in PR744186.
DEPUTY PRESIDENT
