DP World Australia anticipates finalising EBA in Sydney in the near future

Withdrawal of industrial action has enabled container terminal operator DP World Australia to envisage finalisation of an agreement at DPWA Sydney in the near future.

“The Maritime Union’s decision to withdraw all industrial action at DP World Sydney has enabled productive negotiations at our Sydney terminal to resume. We anticipate being able to finalise an agreement at DP World Sydney in the coming week. We’re encouraged with the progress we made this week in Sydney,” said Andrew Adam, DP World Australia Chief Operating Officer – Terminals.

Maritime Union of Australia National Secretary Paddy Crumlin described the announcement as a “significant breakthrough“, adding that there is an in-principle agreement that both sides hope to finalise by the end of this month.

“We are currently working with the company to turn this in-principle agreement into a final document that will lock in fair and productive outcomes for workers and the company over the next four years,” Mr Crumlin said in a written statement.
