Some 63 per cent of Svitzer Australia employees have voted in favour of the tugboat operator’s new four-year enterprise agreement. The Maritime Union of Australia withdrew its support for the agreement in the lead-up to the ballot, although the deal had the support of the Australian Institute of Marine & Power Engineers. Svitzer has agreed to some concessions after nearly four years of negotiations; amongst other things, it has given an undertaking to not outsource work performed by its employees during the first year of the agreement.

Stevedoring firm Patrick wants the Fair Work Commission to intervene in a dispute over a new enterprise agreement with the Maritime Union of Australia. Patrick will ask the commission to order the union to respond to the company’s proposal, which was made in April 2016. The union criticised the move but it said it has no plans to put pressure on the company through industrial action before the federal election on 2 July.
