Fair Work Act 2009

Transport Workers’ Union of Australia
v
Southlink Pty Ltd
(B2022/504)
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT CLANCY | MELBOURNE, 31 MAY 2022 |
Proposed protected action ballot of employees of SouthLink Pty Ltd.
This is an application by the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia (Applicant) made under s.437 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Act) for a protected action ballot order in relation to certain employees of Southlink Pty Ltd (the Respondent).
On 31 May 2022, my Associate was advised that the Respondent did not object to the application.
In the circumstances, I have decided to determine the matter on the papers without holding a hearing.
On the basis of the material before me, including the declaration of Mr Simon Russell of the Applicant setting out the steps taken by it in bargaining with the Respondent and that it has been, and is, genuinely trying to reach agreement with the Respondent, I am satisfied that there is a notification time in relation to the proposed agreement and that the requirements in s.443(1) of the Act have been met.
An order has been separately issued in PR742194.
