SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT HAMBERGER	SYDNEY, 6 NOVEMBER 2017

Termination of the UAM Pty Ltd & ETU Powerline Enterprise Agreement 2013-2016.

[1] On 8 September 2017, UAM Pty Ltd (UAM) applied for the termination of the UAM Pty Ltd & ETU Powerline Enterprise Agreement 2013-2016 (the Agreement), under s.225 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act).

[2] On 13 September 2017, the Communications, Electrical, Electronic, Energy, Information, Postal, Plumbing and Allied Services Union of Australia (ETU), which is a party to the Agreement, notified my chambers that it opposed UAM’s application. It was the only party to do so. I issued directions to file submissions and evidence on 20 September 2017 following a mention, and the matter proceeded to hearing on 27 October 2017.

[3] At the hearing, the parties advised me that as a result of discussions they had had, the ETU would withdraw its opposition to UAM’s application. The ETU confirmed this via email on 3 November 2017. Accordingly, there is now no opposition to the application.

[4] Pursuant to s.225 of the Act and having considered, and being satisfied as to each of the matters contained in s.226 of the Act, the Agreement is terminated.

[5] The termination will come into effect from the date of this decision.
