Australian port workers strike over pay, rejecting 3% raise amid rising costs and record exports.
Union workers at GrainCorp’s Newcastle port facility have launched a three-day strike over a disputed pay deal, rejecting a 3% annual raise amid record grain exports and rising living costs.
The Maritime Union of Australia and Electrical Trades Union accuse GrainCorp of greed and refusing to negotiate, citing worker overwork and lack of communication.
The company says it offered a 12% wage increase over time, along with better casual pay, leave, and overtime rates, and remains open to talks.
The strike follows similar actions at other Australian grain sites, with unions warning of escalation if a better offer isn’t made.
GrainCorp says it is preparing to maintain essential operations.
