DECISION

Fair Work Act 2009
s.437 - Application for a protected action ballot order

Transport Workers' Union of Australia
v
Wettenhalls Group
(B2012/663)

SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT HARRISON SYDNEY, 10 APRIL 2012

Proposed protected action ballot by employees of Wettenhalls Group.

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

[2] The Employer advised that it did not oppose the application. I have received, and rely upon, a witness statement of Mr Chris Fennell 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. Accordingly, an order must be made. An order [PR522190] based on the draft order provided by the TWU will issue in conjunction with this decision.
