Industrial Relations Regulation 2018

This section applies to a hearing for a proposed amalgamation or withdrawal if an application for an alternative ballot has been made under section 66.

After consulting with the manager of the ballot, the commission must approve the alternative ballot if satisfied the proposal—

is practicable; and

complies with section 66(3); and

is likely to give members of the existing organisation, or constituent members, with a right to vote—

fuller participation than a ballot under section 95; and

an adequate opportunity to vote on the amalgamation without intimidation.
