Protected Industrial Action at DP World Australia

Dear Customers,

Regrettably, the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) has advised DP World Australia (DPWA) of its intention to restart Protected Industrial Action (PIA) at all four of our terminals nationally.

The effect of the bans varies across terminals and advised PIA includes work stoppages, limited various bans on employees working in tasks above their normal grade, overtime, shift extensions, accepting late call-ins, and ceasing advanced or delayed start times. 

Information about the PIA and how you may be impacted are detailed at the bottom of this communication.

As always, our immediate priority is to minimise service disruption caused by industrial action. We are reviewing interim operational arrangements at our terminals and will work closely with vessel operators to minimise the impact to vessel schedules where possible.

We remain committed to reaching a new enterprise agreement that delivers improved productivity, and we will keep you updated on our progression.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact CCT Schedule:
