Hutchison Ports has called the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) to stop an apparently spontaneous action of union members who ignored the order of the Fair Work Commission to cease industrial action. Paddy Crumlin, national secretary of the union, said the MUA was not involved in organising protests at Port Botany in Sydney and outside the company’s terminals in Brisbane on 11 August 2015. The protests were triggered by Hutchison Ports informing 97 employees via text messages and email that they would be made redundant.
