  • Patrick peace a union culture shock
    The first wave of 700 former workers at Patrick Stevedores started collecting their redundancy cheques last week, the final formality in Australia's most bitter and perplexing industrial dispute this century.
  • Settlement could have dramatic impact in medium term
    New work by analysts following the stock of Patrick parent Lang Corp says that the industrial settlement at the stevedoring company could have a potentially dramatic impact on Patrick's performance in the medium term - provided that the implementation phase of the labour deal works.

  • MUA: All aboard at ANL/CGM
    AUSTRALIAN ratings will continue to be employed aboard ANL Ltd's vessels after the company is sold to Compagnie General Maritime, according to the national secretary of the Maritime Union of Australia, John Coombs.
    Mr Coombs returned to Australia last week after talks with CGM executives in Paris.
    He said he has received undertakings to that effect and expected these to be confirmed shortly in writing.
    Mr Coombs said this was one of the significant differences between the P&O bid for ANL and the CGM approach.
    He said that while P&O has just moved to end the employment of British and New Zealand seafarers aboard its containerships, CGM vessels were manned by French nationals and the company maintained a good rapport with the unions representing them.
  • Land transport policy unVailed
    THE Coalition has pledged to provide $20 million towards a National Highway bridge upgrade program to enable the allowable loads carried by trucks with 'road friendly suspensions' to be increased from 42.5 to 45.5 tonnes.
    Transport Minister Mark Vaile, announcing the Coalition's transport policy in Wagga Wagga on Friday, said that the new funding initiatives were designed to increase the efficiency and safety of all modes of transport.
    He said the $20 million to be spent on strengthening National Highway bridges would represent a basis for negotiations with the states and local governments concerning their share of the total cost of funding all necessary bridgeworks.
    "I will negotiate share funding arrangements with the States and local government at the next meeting of the Australian Transport Council," Mr Vaile said.
  • NRTC charges plan a 'dead dog'
    AN ELECTION-minded federal government appears to have turned its back on six years of work by the National Road Transport Commission by vigorously opposing the commission's revised heavy vehicle registration charges proposals.
    In what is considered a major blow to the NRTC, a spokesman for Transport Minister Mark Vaile said on Friday the government would join its state counterparts in opposing the NRTC's proposed second charges determination.
    "This is just a notional kind of ambit sort of suggestion (by the NRTC) about what might be required but, it's up to the states to ultimately levy these charges and they don't support it either," the spokesman said.
  • Questions over WA access bill
    THE Western Australian opposition is calling on the state government to amend its third party rail access legislation, claiming that the Bill in its present form will restrict open competition.
    Opposition Transport spokeswoman Alannah MacTiernan said the opposition supported the principle behind the Bill to encourage greater competition, but wanted to amend aspects of it which she believed would fail to win the approval of the National Competition Council.
    Ms MacTiernan claimed the government was unlikely to be concerned by the "anti-competitive" tone of the Government Railways (Access) Bill being debated by the WA parliament.
