Agreements approved for this employer since

The FWC doesn't link agreements to ballots. These were approved for the same employer after this ballot and may cover different workers or unions.

Reported action is only tracked while a ballot's authorisation window is open, so this page doesn't say whether action followed. For that, check the union's own updates or contact them.
