Govt contemptuous of maritime industry The government's withdrawal on 27 February of AMSA as the administrator of the Seaman's Engagement System has thrown the maritime industry into chaos and is indicative of the "absolute contempt" with which it regards the industry and seafarers in particular according to the MUA. In its submission to the Parliamentary Treaties Commission's inquiry into the government's decision to 'denounce' the International Labour Organisation Convention on Establishing Facilities for Finding Employment for Seamen, the MUA argued that contrary to the government's position such a move would not remove impediments to the negotiation of company employment contracts nor would it improve seaman's health and safety standards. Patrick plans automation Patrick is considering a withdrawal from general stevedoring and the increased use of automation at its container facilities a position which will lead to the loss of hundreds of jobs according to the stevedore's chairman Chris Corrigan. He told the 14 th international ICHCA conference in Sydney that such move would regrettably have a serious impact on the employment levels in the industry.

'Scam' amendments passed The Australian Democrats and the Labor Party have successfully moved amendments to the Corporations Law which would ensure that companies can not indulge in financial practices designed to avoid paying redundancy and other entitlement to their employees. A spokesperson said the amendments had been sought in response to Patrick Stevedores' utilisation of laws allegedly "to avoid its responsibilities to employees and creditors" during the waterfront dispute.
