DP World has decided not to lock out more than 200 members of the Maritime Union of Australia, who will now be able to attend a stopwork meeting on 31 July 2014. The stevedoring group and the union are engaged in a dispute over the new enterprise bargaining agreement. The union intends to exert pressure on the company by announcing a four-hour stopwork and work bans. The two parties will meet again on 1 August
