[3] Pursuant to s.190(4) of the Act, I have sought the views of the “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) with respect to the undertaking. The AMWU has supported the undertaking.

[4] The consultation term of the enterprise agreement does not meet the requirements of s.205(1) and (1A) of the Fair Work Act as amended as from 1 January 2014.
