Application for approval of the Veolia Australia & New Zealand Illawarra Industrial Services Agreement 2015.

[1] An application has been made for approval of an enterprise agreement known as the Veolia Australia & New Zealand Illawarra Industrial Services Agreement 2015 (the Agreement). The application was made pursuant to s.185 of the Fair Work Act 2009 (the Act). The agreement is a single-enterprise agreement.

[5] 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. As required by s.201(2) I note that the Agreement covers the organisation.

[6] The Agreement is approved. In accordance with s.54(1) it will operate from 18 February 2015. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 19 January 2018.
