BREAKING NEWS - Patrick and MUA agree 4-year enterprise agreement

Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and the Australian Peak Shippers Association have this morning (7 February 2022) received the following advice from Patrick:

Patrick Terminals can confirm that an in-principle agreement has been reached with the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) for a new 4-year enterprise agreement.

The agreement will now need to be voted on by the MUA members before being ratified by the Fair Work Commission. 

Patrick Terminals is very pleased with the outcome. The new agreement has achieved the removal of restrictive recruitment conditions and also delivered other much-needed flexibilities for the Patrick operations across all four terminals.

Patrick Terminals looks forward to the endorsement of the agreement by the MUA members and four years of industrial stability on our waterfront. 

Further updates will be provided after the employee vote. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Client Services Manager.
