UNILEVER AUSTRALIA TRADING LTD, (TRADING AS STREETS ICE CREAM, MINTO) ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT 2024
| Food, beverages and tobacco manufacturing industry | |
| DEPUTY PRESIDENT DEAN | CANBERRA, 21 NOVEMBER 2024 |
Application for approval of the Unilever Australia Trading Ltd, (trading as Streets Ice Cream, Minto) Enterprise Agreement 2024.
An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Unilever Australia Trading Ltd, (trading as Streets Ice Cream, Minto) Enterprise Agreement 2024 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). It has been made by Unilever Australia Trading Limited T/A Streets Ice Cream Minto. The Agreement is a single enterprise agreement.
I am satisfied that each of the requirements of ss 186, 187 and 188 as are relevant to this application for approval have been met.
I observe that the provisions at clause 7.2.2 and clause 16.3.15, relating to notice period for apprentices and grounds for carers leave respectively, are likely to be inconsistent with the National Employment Standards (NES). However, noting clause 2.6.3 of the Agreement, I am satisfied the more beneficial entitlements of the NES will prevail where there is an inconsistency between the Agreement and the NES.
The “Automotive, Food, Metals, Engineering, Printing and Kindred Industries Union” known as the Australian Manufacturing Workers’ Union (AMWU) being a bargaining representative for the Agreement, has given notice under s.183 of the Act that it wants the Agreement to cover it. In accordance with s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.
The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 28 November 2024. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 31 October 2027.
