DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.437—Protected action

The Australian Workers’ Union
v
Transpacific Industries Pty Ltd
(B2012/80)

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT HARRISON SYDNEY, 20 APRIL 2012

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Transpacific Industries Pty Ltd .

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) by The Australian Workers’ Union (AWU). It seeks a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Transpacific Industries Pty Ltd (the Employer).

[2] The Employer advised that it did not oppose the application. I have received, and rely upon, a witness statement of Ronald Patrick Paul Hayden from the AWU providing information about matters relevant to s.443 of the FW Act.

[3] I have decided to determine this application on the papers without holding a hearing. I am satisfied that each of the relevant requirements of the FW Act, and s.443 in particular, have been met. Accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR522646] based on the draft order provided by the AWU is issued in conjunction with this decision.
