Transport Workers' Union of Australia
v
Metromix Pty Ltd
(B2011/4083)

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT HARRISON SYDNEY, 16 DECEMBER 2011

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Metromix Pty Ltd.

[1] This is an application made pursuant to s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) by the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia (TWU), for a protected action ballot order, in relation to certain employees of Metromix Pty Ltd (Employer).

[2] The Employer advised by email on 15 December 2011 that it did not oppose the application. I rely upon the statement of Mr Hastings from the TWU 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 and that, accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR518063] based on the draft order provided by the TWU will issue in conjunction with this decision.
