From an article titled ‘Militant unions escalate picket at Webb Dock’ at News Corp Australia:
More than 1000 fired-up union workers have walked off the job in an industrial dispute over a casual worker denied shifts at the Victorian International Container Terminal.
In an expletive-ridden speech, CFMEU boss John Setka declared the company was in “big trouble” as workers stood together to protest their rights.
Maritime Union of Australia Deputy National Secretary Will Tracey claimed a security audit identified over 20 workers who did not have the correct clearances, but the worker in question was excluded because of his union membership.
“His only crime was pushing the union membership inside the dock,” he told workers.
