The Australian Workers' Union
v
WesTrac Pty Ltd
(B2014/932)
COMMISSIONER RIORDAN | SYDNEY, 9 JULY 2014 |
Proposed protected action ballot by employees of WesTrac Pty Ltd.
[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 WesTrac Pty Ltd (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 4 July 2014 made by Mr John Boyd, an Official of the AWU.
[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 continues to be, genuinely trying to reach an agreement with the Employer.
[5] An order [PR552921] based on the draft order provided by the AWU is issued in conjunction with this decision.
