Discussions on the new EBA with Hutchison Ports Australia (HPA) took place over three days in Brisbane on the 8-10 October. At this stage both parties are working through respective logs of claims.
The MUA is seeking to understand what HPA actually wants out of this agreement. The company claims remain extreme, but what is written by HPA is not always what is meant and this complicating factor makes progressing through the log of claims difficult and leaves the MUA guessing and having to ask a lot of questions to get to the bottom of what HPA really want or mean.
