DP WORLD AUSTRALIA - UPDATE ON INDUSTRIAL ACTION
TCF has received notification from Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) that they have been in contact with DP World senior management in order to update members on the latest on the protected industrial action.
With DP World and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) now having concluded 6 days of facilitated bargaining sessions under the watch of the Fair Work Commission (FWC), DP World suggest that while some progress was made, in response to the continued Industrial action DP World has now filed for a cooling-off period of 90 days in the FWC aimed at halting the ongoing action. DP World optimistically suggesting the period would provide an opportunity for further negotiations without further disruptions.
DP World senior management expectation is for the filing to be reviewed by the FWC in a matter of days. The full DP World statement reads as per the attached link.
