Notification of protected industrial action

13 Nov 2020 / Brisbane, Australia

Svitzer Australia has received a further notification from the Maritime Union of Australia of protected industrial action by its members in Brisbane.

The notice of protected industrial action planned to take place involves members of the MUA employed by Svitzer Australia engaging in bans on the performance of any work from 10 hours after the shift commencement time, commencing from 12:01 am on Tuesday 17 November 2020 through to 11:59 pm Sunday 22 November 2020 in Brisbane.

The action may impact operations, and Svitzer is reviewing schedules and crewing requirements to minimise any potential disruption. At this stage, they expect to continue to provide towage services, by absorbing additional costs and rescheduling.
