ACCC urged to drop MUA case Several members of parliament are believed to have written to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission urging the consumer watchdog to drop its case against the Maritime Union of Australia. It is understood they have argued this would be in the "public interest". The union has stated that all legal action is dropped, the agreement hammered out between Patrick and itself will not proceed, threatening the re-opening of the entire dispute. ITF reports on Asia Pacific waterfront The latest report on waterfront industrial developments in the Asia/Pacific region from the International Transport Workers' Federation gives an overview in three countries: India, Australia and Burma. The ITF said India's Transport & Dock Workers' Union (T & DWU) members in Mumbai (Bombay) have been on strike since 12 June in support of demands for increased wages and benefits. The strike involves employees of the Bombay Custom House Agents who work in licensed custom houses, container freight stations and Mumbai International Airport's air cargo complex. VCA drops charges The Victorian Channels Authority has announced that it has reduced its charges, effective from yesterday. VCA chief executive Ian Edwards said the new charges would involve a reduction in the base rate per gross tonne to 30.4 cents from 35.5 cents. The VCA said the reduction in channel usage charges was in line with the Victorian government's goal of reducing costs to shippers using the ports of Geelong and Melbourne. Sydney airport charges still under ACCC scrutiny The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's acceptance of the Federal Airport Corporation's restructuring of aeronautical services charges at Sydney's Airport over 1998-99 has been welcomed by airlines but only because the ACCC has recognised there are "unresolved issues" associated with the new charging regime.
