QUBE NEWCASTLE WHARFIES IMPOSE WORK BAN
Maritime workers at a port management company in Newcastle, Qube Ports, are fighting against proposed wage cuts.
A work ban will be imposed from midnight tonight, amid what the union says is the company’s push to slash wages by more than 10 percent.
The MUA says staff will only work seven hour shifts, with no extensions or overtime, over the next fortnight.
A Qube spokesperson told NBN News the business is seeking a reduction in pay rates to allow operations to continue.
