Patrick Terminals

The Maritime Union of Australia is fighting Patrick Terminals' attempt to cut maritime workers' pay by 50%. Jim McIlroy reports.

 

A community assembly of more than 100 people marched onto the roadway outside Patrick Terminals terminal at Port Botany on May 4 and occupied the road for three hours, halting port operations for an entire shift.

The protesters were supporting of waterside workers at Patricks who are standing up to the company's attempts to de-unionise a section of the terminal.
