As industrial disputes continue, workers at a port in Sydney say that they will remain in their position until the problem is solved.
Last Friday, Hutchison Port’s workers started with their demonstrations at various ports in Sydney and Melbourne after the company informed sacking of 100 workers via email.
The Fair Work Commission ordered the protests to cease after it found out that Maritime Union of Australia was behind the industrial campaign at Monday night. However, the union asserted it was only supporting individual workers’ decisions and not orchestrating the action.
Paul McAleer of the Maritime Union of Australia assured the workers that they have full public support. “This company knows what they’ve done,” he said.
