The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) has said the fact that Prime Minister Scott Morrison joined the “attack” from stevedoring companies against wharf workers and their families was a “disgrace.”
In a response to Morrison’s warning to the MUA that the government would intervene in future industrial action at ports if necessary, MUA national secretary Paddy Crumlin said stevedoring companies and international shipping lines were disguising the fact that they were reporting some of the highest profit margins in their history.
