Landmark agreement delivers secure jobs and significant pay increases to workers at Melbourne container terminal
Workers at the Victoria International Container Terminal at Melbourne’s Webb Dock have won significant improvements to job security, working hours, and rates of pay following a three year industrial campaign.
The Maritime Union of Australia said the agreement would deliver immediate benefits to the workforce, with 75 per cent of casual roles being converted to permanent jobs, along with pay increases of between 14.5 and 50 per cent over four years, depending on employment classifications.
The MUA has now finalised agreements with VICT, DP World Australia, Hutchison, and have reached in-principle agreement with Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal, leaving Patrick as the only container terminal operator in the country where the union has been unable to successfully conclude negotiations.

More than 100 maritime workers and trade unionists protested outside Svitzer Australia tug boat operators on June 28 demanding it reinstate local tug boat crews who had been replaced by labour hire contractors.
The workers made redundant by Svitzer last December were joined by fellow Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) members, along with other unionists, to demand that local workers be given their jobs back,
Svitzer provides towage in more than 30 countries around the world. It is owned by Maersk, the biggest multinational shipping company in the world.
In December, Svitzer sacked 18 locals, saying that Geelong was no longer a viable port.
