Please see below message just received rom Patricks Terminal regarding on-going Protected Industrial Action
Subject: [PATRICK NS PORT BOTANY – NSW] Patrick Port Botany
Issue: Protected Industrial Action
Short Description: Patrick is continuing to be impacted by MUA imposed protected industrial action. This action results in 3 hours of work bans per day. The MUA imposed work bans are resulting in some carriers being unable to secure enough imports time slots to evacuate containers within the free storage period. The protected industrial action is a legal tool available to the MUA to cause business disruption in order to assert their negotiating position. Given that the protected industrial action is outside our ability to control, Patrick will not be issuing storage waivers or reductions resulting from the MUA imposed stoppages
Duration of Delay: 0 days 0 hrs 5 min.
