Applications for intractable bargaining declarations
(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.
