Victoria - delivery delays (dock strike)

[Rooboy]

A newspaper reported this morning that the MUA will be on strike for the next 4 days from the Webb Dock car terminal. I imagine this will cause some delivery delays as ships in port won't be unloaded and some ships due will bypass it until they are back at work.

I thought it takes them about 4 days to put down their smoko and actually drive them off the ship anyway. Anyone else remember when they brought in the non union guys and things actually sped up so much the stevedore companies wanted to keep the new staff on and had to take back the striking mob. Oh I see the CFMEU are involved.....I agree with the right to unionise and stand up for things, but not when they act like bikie gangs. I'm sure my company would gladly offer 10% pay rises each year...
