The Australian Workers’ Union
v
Boral Window Systems Ltd
(B2013/1292)

COMMISSIONER RYAN MELBOURNE, 11 OCTOBER 2013

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Boral Window Systems Ltd.

[1] This is an application for a protected action ballot of members of The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) employed by Boral Window Systems Ltd (Boral).

[2] Boral has advised my chambers by email that it does not oppose this application.

[3] The AWU has filed a Statutory Declaration of Craig Winter, Industrial Officer for the AWU, in support of this application. I am satisfied that the AWU has demonstrated that it has been and is genuinely trying to reach an agreement with the employer.

[4] In the circumstances I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.

[5] I am satisfied that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Fair Work Act 2009 have been met and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order based on the draft order provided by the AWU has issued in conjunction with this decision.
