From an article in the Brisbane Times:

Union protesters have blockaded the front gates of Caltex’s Brisbane refinery to rally against job cuts on board the Alexander Spirit fuel tanker ship.

About two dozen Maritime Union of Australia protesters rallied in solidarity at the Caltex refinery in Lytton on Friday.

The tanker had been chartered by Caltex until 2019, branch secretary Bob Carnegie said.

“They’ve reneged on the charter and are throwing the whole Aussie crew on the unemployment scrapheap,” he told AAP.

“A lot of these are young men that went into a job with the idea that there was at least a 10-year charter, which meant they had a 10-year timeframe to try to build their lives.”

The company’s “predatory corporate behavior” left one locally crewed ship in Australia and placed fuel security in jeopardy, the union argued.

The protesters blocked the front gates of the refinery for more than half an hour, preventing four trucks from entering, before police were called.
