Please note that last week we saw a full suspension of Protected Industrial Action at each of the DP World terminals on the 5, 6, 8 and 9 December, resulting in normal operating conditions at their terminals.

In response to the continued Industrial action, DP World has now filed for a cooling-off period of 90 days in the FWC aimed at halting the ongoing action. They suggested the period would provide an opportunity for negotiations without further disruptions. DP World senior management expectation is for the filing to be reviewed by the FWC in a matter of days.

DP World statement:

DP World has been engaged in facilitated bargaining sessions over six days with the MUA under the oversight of the Fair Work Commission. These discussions are critical, as they involve reviewing over 300 claims put forth by the MUA, which, if accepted, could significantly impact our operational costs, resource deployment flexibility, and decision-making processes.

While some progress was made during these sessions, the MUA has maintained a majority of their initial claims without significant modification. This stance makes it challenging for us to ascertain the full implications of their demands. Our focus remains on making balanced decisions that consider the impacts on our operations, employees, and, importantly, you – our customers.

Book Systems will continue to monitor the situation and update our customers accordingly.
