Nothcott Enterprise Agreement update


PDF version

Fair Work Australia Commissioner Wilson handed down an interim decision on 28 May regarding approval of the proposed Northcott Enterprise Agreement (EA).

The Commissioner indicated he was satisfied that the criteria for approval had been meet except for the two issues that had been raised the CPSU NSW. These issues related to the failure to provide adequate information relating to some of the proposed changes and failing to include all employees in the ballot to approve the EA.

Commissioner Wilson indicated he was inclined to use his discretion to approve the agreement despite these “minor or technical” issues. However, he sought submissions from the parties prior to making a final decision. These submissions have now been made and we now await a final outcome.

If you have and concerns about the above or any other issues, please contact the CPSU NSW.
