  • MUA takes Webb appeal to Full Bench
    THE FULL Bench of the Australian Industrial Relations Commission will today hear an appeal by the Maritime Union of Australia against the orders, issued last week by it under section 166 of the Workplace Relations Act, prohibiting industrial action at Webb Dock for 30 days.
    Today’s hearing will follow from yesterday’s decision by Patrick to withdraw an application for a return to work order at East Swanson Dock.
    According to the stevedore this followed assurances of no further strike action from the MUA.
  • Reith and the clash of the desperate men
    EMPLOYERS involved in the Webb dock dispute, Patrick, the National Farmers Federation and P&C Stevedores Pty Ltd, were warmly praised yesterday by the Minister for Workplace Relations, Peter Reith.
    Mr Reith, who spoke at the Waterfront and Shipping Reform Congress, organised by IBC Conferences, paid particular tribute to the chairman of Patrick, Chris Corrigan, stating that history would treat him well.

  • Reform slow and painful, says Finney
    AUSTRALIA has achieved much over the past decade in both port and stevedoring reform according to the managing director of the Waterfront Partnership, Nicholas Finney, who spoke at the Waterfront and Shipping Reform Congress in Sydney yesterday.

  • World moves on, MUA in reverse: Corrigan
    PATRICK Stevedores’ chairman Chris Corrigan launched a withering attack on the MUA at the waterfront and Shipping Reform Congress on Monday beginning with the observation that MUA joint national secretary, John Coombs, had claimed earlier that the MUA had "spent 20 years getting the industry to where it is today’.
    "Over the past decade the world has experienced a profound upheaval -- the end of the Cold War, the breaking of the Soviet Union, the fall of the Berlin Wall.(and) change on the international waterfront too," Mr Corrigan said.
  • Extent of change ‘forgotten’
    THE AUSTRALIAN waterfront has undergone massive changes in the past seven years in response to the federal and state government agendas for reform, according to Fremantle Port Authority chief executive officer Kerry Sanderson.
    Ms Sanderson told the Waterfront and Shipping Reform Congress in Sydney yesterday said that while significant further change was required, the extent of change that had already occurred could sometimes be forgotten.
