Transitainer WA would like to provide an update on the ongoing Industrial Action across the DP World Terminals.
Further to the updated action outlined earlier today, DP World have today made an important announcement outlining they will no longer tolerate partial work bans effective Friday 12 January 2024.
We are writing to inform you of an important announcement regarding DP World Australia’s stance on partial work bans amidst the ongoing industrial dispute.
Effective Friday 12 January 2024, DP World Australia will no longer tolerate partial work bans. As a result, employees participating in these actions will not be entitled to any payment until they are ready and willing to perform all of their normal duties. This decision comes after exhaustive negotiations with the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), with the assistance of the Fair Work Commission.
This is a necessary step to address the detrimental effects of the industrial action on vital industries such as meat, agriculture, and retail. The livelihoods of countless individuals are at stake, and we must take action to curb economic losses and stabilise port operations.
We want to assure you that DP World Australia remains fully committed to resolving the dispute while protecting our business interests and the broader economy from the impacts of the industrial action. Our Executive Vice President, Nicolaj Noes, emphasises that finding a fair and sustainable solution remains our top priority.
Amidst this challenging situation, we want to emphasise our unwavering commitment to ensuring the supply of critical goods and medicines. Throughout the industrial action, DP World Australia will prioritise the handling of vessels carrying perishable foods, medical supplies, and humanitarian aid. We have put in place procedures to ensure swift and efficient processing of these essential goods, minimising any disruption to vital supply chains.
We understand the importance of these critical goods and medicines, especially during this period of industrial action. We are fully aware of the impact that any disruption in the supply chain can have on individuals and communities. Rest assured, we are working diligently to ensure their timely and uninterrupted delivery.
