WAGE talks between Patrick Stevedores parent Asciano and the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) on behalf of Webb Dock workers were continuing this week after industrial action was called off last Thursday night.
Employees from Patrick’s auto, bulk and general facility at Webb Dock in Melbourne had threatened action for 24-hours on Friday after the union said long-running negotiations had stalled.
“We are working through it and we believe we are making progress,” MUA Victorian branch secretary Kevin Bracken said.
“The talks have been pretty fruitful on both sides, so we are going to keep with it.”
The talks are restricted to the wages of workers at Webb Dock only.
