FAIR WORK ACT 2009 - SECT 234 Applications for intractable bargaining declarations

FAIR WORK ACT 2009 - SECT 234

  (1)   A bargaining representative for a proposed enterprise agreement, other than a greenfields agreement, may apply to the FWC for a declaration (an intractable bargaining declaration ) under section   235 in relation to the agreement.

Note:   The consequence of an intractable bargaining declaration being made in relation to the agreement is that the FWC may, in certain circumstances, make an intractable bargaining workplace determination under section   269 in relation to the agreement.

  (2)   An application for an intractable bargaining declaration must not be made in relation to a proposed multi - enterprise agreement unless a supported bargaining authorisation or single interest employer authorisation is in operation in relation to the agreement.
