  • Reith stands firm over end to MUA monopoly
    The federal government has applied further pressure to the Maritime Union of Australia, yesterday insisting it would only provide redundancy payments to waterfront workers if they agreed to benchmark reforms on the waterfront.
    However, MUA national secretary John Coombs said it was outrageous that Workplace Relations Minister Peter Reith was seeking to put conditions on the redundancy money from the commonwealth.
    Reith made it clear that the union must agree to seven benchmark principles on waterfront reform before the government provides funding for the redundancies.
  • Stand in stevedores hope for long-term business
    While they have seen a dramatic increase in the demand for the services during the Patrick-MUA dispute, Australia's smaller stevedoring operators are not yet banking on that short term boon being translated into a major long-term gain.
    Two of the companies indicated that until Patrick Stevedores' future as a major industry player became clearer it was not possible to conclude with any certainty whether customers gained during the dispute and its aftermath could be retained.

  • James P. Hoffa got a huge boost when the government gave tacit approval to his presidency of the 1.4 million-member Teamsters union. The government is allowing Hoffa to run in the next union election later this year. Hoffa is odds-on to defeat little-known Ken Hall, who is head of the union's small-parcel unit. Besides being unknown, Hall has the distinct disadvantage of not having the last name of Hoffa. Meanwhile, Hoffa pledges to restore unity to the union, running under the aegis of the "reform" candidate.
  • The betting in Washington is there will be a veto-proof highway reauthorization bill signed by President Clinton by Memorial Day. At a Traffic World-sponsored symposium on highway reauthorization, some of Washington's wisest hands predicted a final bill by the start of the summer construction season.
  • Donald E. Moffitt says it's official this time - he's retiring for good. The 44-year transportation veteran is retiring as chief executive officer of CNF Transportation, a $5 billion diversified transport concern. Moffitt retired once before, 10 years ago, but was brought back in 1990 to help rescue the company from the brink of bankruptcy. Moffitt helped straighten out CNF's Emery Air Freight unit, then reinstalled the company's confidence in itself, which he says was the key to restoring financial viability to the company. He turns CNF over to Gregory L. Quesnel, who had been chief operating officer but who has made a mark in the company with his strong eye for finances.
  • The Surface Transportation Board wants to make handling captive-shipper rate complaints easier. But many captive shippers are skeptical. Except for a single coal shipper, nobody has ever won a rate reasonableness case since the railroads were largely deregulated in 1980. STB wants to eliminate the ability of a railroad to hinder rate complaints by asserting the existence of product and geographic competition. Still, shippers will face enormous expenses in proving they have no effective rail, truck or barge alternatives before STB will even hear their rate complaints.
  • Competition for cargo is heating up in Brazil, which is learning how to speak a whole new language. It's called intermodal. Trucking still has the lion's share, but increasingly companies are trying to fashion themselves as "transportation" companies immune from modal lock. Privatization of ports and rails has increased incentives to cut costs and make the system work better.
  • The U.S. Postal Service's answer to other companies' two-day package services - Priority Mail - is growing by leaps and bounds and priced well below the competition. And that raises the ire of competitors like United Parcel Service. UPS claims the playing field isn't level and USPS agrees, denying accusations that it receives tax support and pointing out that it must abide by a whole slew of government regulations. Yet it's still succeeding in the marketplace and plans to take that success farther.
  • For Schneider National's Renee Wolven, logistics is a career path that's taking her to the top. The West Point grad and former Army captain went into military logistics because there were no restrictions for women there. On the civilian side, the work is different but she continues to rise through the ranks. The self-described "gearhead" is vice president of engineering for Schneider.
  • Symbol Technologies Inc., one of the largest manufacturers of barcoding equipment in the world, is making a bid to buy competitor Telxon Corp. for $38 per share, or $800 million cash. Symbol believes the Telxon acquisition will speed its plan to build an array of products and services involving barcoding, wireless communications and handheld computing. "There's nothing we can't do without them but we can do it faster," said one Symbol official.
  • The Asian Flu has hit the container business in Jakarta, Indonesia. The Indonesia rupiah has lost 70 percent of its value since the financial crisis began last July and at least 50 percent of imports have dried up, according to Richard Cox, country manager for Sea-Land Service. Some of that has been offset by a rise in exports, but that has resulted in a container shortage as other countries in the Far East have similar import/export balance problems.
