DP WORLD: MUA Industrial Action - Update 6 - DP World Media Statement

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) have been in contact with DP World senior management in order to update members on the latest on the protected industrial action continuing around the DP World terminals nationally. Following the updated news yesterday of additional industrial action extending into November, DP World has called on the CFMEU-MUA Division to return to the bargaining table.  Discussions between the parties were scheduled to take place on 17-19 October, however those meetings did not eventuate with the union declaring an escalation of action. DP World suggest that as a result of protected industrial action, the timeline to offload a ship has now been extended to 7-8 days in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Fremantle terminals, up significantly from a usual 2 days.   DP WORLD MEDIA STATEMENT LIST OF UPCOMING PROTECTED INDUSTRIAL ACTIONS FTA / APSA once again urges all parties involved in the industrial dispute to work together on a quick resolution to minimise the impact on workers, freight and the nation.  Updates will be posted at www.FTAlliance.com.au  Tom Jensen - Head of International Freight & Logistics -  FTA / APSA
