What happened
Koppers Wood Products Pty Ltd sought approval for the Koppers Wood Products, Longford and TFTU Enterprise Agreement 2026. The Timber, Furnishing and Textiles Union (TFTU) is the bargaining representative. The Fair Work Commission considered whether the agreement met the requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009, including a review of a potential deficiency in the Notice of Employee Representational Rights (NERR).
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the Koppers Wood Products, Longford and TFTU Enterprise Agreement 2026. The Commission found a minor discrepancy in the agreement title did not prevent employees from participating in bargaining. The agreement will operate from seven days after the approval date and expire on 6 August 2027. Workplace delegates’ rights from the Timber Industry Award 2020 are incorporated into the agreement.
What it means for employers
Employers should ensure their enterprise agreements comply with the Fair Work Act 2009. Minor technical errors are unlikely to invalidate an agreement, but a thorough review of all requirements is essential. Agreements must also consider the rights of workplace delegates as prescribed by relevant awards.
What it means for employees
Employees covered by the agreement will benefit from the terms and conditions outlined in the Koppers Wood Products, Longford and TFTU Enterprise Agreement 2026. The agreement incorporates workplace delegate rights from the Timber Industry Award 2020.
