GrainCorp workers at Victoria’s Geelong and Portland ports struck over pay, safety, and rostering, risking harvest delays.
GrainCorp workers at Victoria’s Geelong and Portland ports staged a 24-hour strike over unresolved pay, rostering, and safety issues, raising concerns among grain growers about harvest delays.
The United Workers Union led the action, citing a lack of a functional rostering system and inadequate safety equipment, while GrainCorp says it has been negotiating in good faith and that proposed changes align with modern operations.
The strike, the first major industrial action at the sites in over 30 years, follows similar disruptions in NSW and WA, with farmers warning of serious impacts, especially with adverse weather approaching.
