Application by United Workers' Union (108V)
Citation: [2026] FWC 2766
What happened
ISS Security is negotiating a new enterprise agreement to replace the existing ISS Perth Aviation Security Enterprise Agreement 2023. The United Workers’ Union (UWU) and Transport Workers’ Union are bargaining representatives, with several Employee Bargaining Representatives (EBRs) also involved. UWU applied for bargaining orders against ISS Security and the individual EBRs. Following a conference on July 21, 2026, both parties agreed to a recommendation outlining commitments.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission issued a recommendation detailing agreements reached during negotiations between ISS Security, UWU, and the EBRs. These include timelines for sharing updated claims logs, restrictions on putting a proposed agreement to a vote before August 24, 2026 or five bargaining meetings, withdrawal of one form of industrial action, guidelines for employee access to bargaining representatives, observer attendance at meetings, and commitments to good faith bargaining. The applications will close when certain conditions are met.
What it means for employers
ISS Security must adhere to the agreed-upon timelines for sharing claims logs and delaying a vote on the proposed enterprise agreement. They also cannot direct the EBRs in their bargaining conduct. Employers should ensure they follow good faith bargaining obligations and allow reasonable access for union representatives to discuss matters with employees.
What it means for employees
Affected employees should be aware of the agreed timelines for negotiations and voting on the new enterprise agreement. Union representatives will have increased access to speak with employees about the bargaining process, following established procedures. Employees can seek further action if they believe the recommendation is not being followed.
