(1) This section applies to a proposed enterprise agreement that is a multi‑enterprise agreement. (2) An employer must not request under subsection 181(1) that employees approve the enterprise agreement by voting for it unless: (a) each bargaining representative for the enterprise agreement that is an employee organisation has provided the employer with written agreement to the making of the request; or (b) a voting request order permits the employer to make the request. Note: Voting request orders can be made where failure to provide written agreement to the making of a request is unreasonable in the circumstances (see section 240B).
