MELBOURNE: A blockade continues two days after the Supreme Court ordered unions to abandon a picket line at a Melbourne port, which is preventing the shipping of goods for Christmas.
Action started at the Victoria International Container Terminal’s Webb Dock on November 27 over a dispute involving a Maritime Union of Australia worker, creating a backlog of millions of dollars worth of goods, including perishables.
At least a dozen people remain at the site of the blockade, after Tuesday’s court order preventing union representatives from continuing the action.
