Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA) continue to be in contact with DP World senior management in terms of thy latest information on the Protected Industrial Action (PIA) impacting their container terminals nationally.
DP World have outlined advice received from the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMMEU) in terms of withdrawing some partial work bans and stoppages and the continuation of other listed PIA.
Despite the withdrawal of some bans, there are still multiple protected industrial actions that remain ongoing, including *partial work bans, associated with the PIA for the period Monday 15 January to Tuesday 23 January 2024.
* DP World has reiterated it's position remains unchanged in terms of non-acceptance of partial work bans.
We once again request that members continue to provide details of operational impacts, costs (both direct and indirect) and advise whether this detail can be publicly shared (or used on an anonymous / anecdotal basis).
Please provide details to tjensen@FTAlliance.com.au
FTA / APSA continues to urge all parties involved in the PIA to work together on a resolution to minimise the impact on workers, freight and the nation.
Updates will be posted at www.FTAlliance.com.au
