VIRIDIAN GLASS - VICTORIAN FACTORY AGREEMENT 2019

Manufacturing and associated industries
COMMISSIONER MCKINNON	MELBOURNE, 29 JANUARY 2020

Enterprise agreement approval.

[1] Viridian Glass Pty Limited has applied for approval of a single enterprise agreement known as the Viridian Glass – Victorian Factory Agreement 2019.

[2] The Agreement replaces an earlier enterprise agreement made in 2015 covering four sites formerly operated by CSR Limited. Three of those sites (Clayton, Morwell and Albury) are now operated by Viridian Glass and will be covered by the Agreement. The Agreement is essentially a “roll over” of the 2015 enterprise agreement. The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union was involved in bargaining and considers that employees have gained and not lost from the making of the Agreement.

[3] I am satisfied that the Agreement was genuinely agreed and that it passes the better off overall test. I am satisfied that each of the other relevant requirements of sections 186, 187 and 188 of the Act have been met in relation to the application.

[4] The Agreement is approved and, in accordance with s.54 of the Act, will operate from 5 February 2020. The nominal expiry date of the Agreement is 30 April 2020.

[5] The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union is covered by the Agreement.
