Dear Valued Customers

 

Patrick has received notifications for further industrial action at their Sydney & Melbourne Terminals.

 

The MUA has now taken to issue the Melbourne terminal with two weeks of continuous rolling stoppages and work bans for the first two weeks of November that will significantly impact the ability of the terminal to recover. Sydney terminal will have a 24 hour stoppage on Melbourne Cup Day.
