ACTU joins struggle against DP World with unanimous endorsement of MUA resolution
The ACTU met today and unanimously endorsed a resolution brought by Assistant National Secretary, Mich-Elle Myers, raising the struggle for MUA members employed at Dubai Ports’ ( DP World ) four Australian ports.
The ACTU resolution, which was seconded by the Transport Workers Union, called for Dubai Ports to:
- Return to good faith bargaining and abandon their attacks on hard working maritime workers in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle.
- Deliver a fair wage outcome for their workers that keeps pace with inflation and with industry benchmarks
- Commit to roster and working arrangements that support a sustainable work-life balance, mitigate fatigue and provide certainty for wharfies and their families
- Sit down with workers and their Union to remove ambiguity from the existing agreement to reduce future disputation around minor clauses.
