I go to the amendment:

647 After subsection 186(2)

Insert:

(2A) If the agreement is a cooperative workplace agreement that is not a greenfields agreement, the FWC must be satisfied that at least some of the employees covered by the agreement were represented by an employee organisation in relation to bargaining for the agreement.

One of the issues that has been raised with me time and time again in relation to this particular amendment is that it says the Fair Work Commission must be satisfied that 'at least some of the employees' are represented by a union. How many does this mean?
