COMMISSIONER BULL SYDNEY, 15 JUNE 2012

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of SSX Services Pty Limited t/as The Australian Reinforcing Company.

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act) by the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU). It seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of SSX Services Pty Limited t/as The Australian Reinforcing Company (the Employer).

[2] The Employer advised that it does not oppose the application. Accordingly I have determined the matter on the basis of the documentation filed.

[3] In support of the application, the AWU filed a statement dated 14 June 2012 made by Mr Jeff Buhler, an Organiser of the AWU Greater New South Wales Branch.

[4] For the purposes of s.443(1)(b) of the Act, I am satisfied on the basis of the unchallenged position of the AWU, that the AWU has been and is, genuinely trying to reach an agreement with the Employer.

[5] An order [PR525244] based on the draft order provided by the CEPU is issued in conjunction with this decision.
