The Fair Work Ombudsman has launched legal action against the Maritime Union of Australia over unprotected industrial action in August 2015. The union picketed Hutchison Ports’ container terminals in Sydney and Brisbane, and organised work stoppages in response to the company’s move to retrench 97 employees. The FWO wants the MUA to pay compensation to Hutchinson, arguing that the industrial action breached workplace laws and an enterprise agreement.
