Victoria's already troubled dairy industry is in deeper turmoil as thousands of dairy factory workers and milk tank drivers gear up for the largest dairy strike in Australia’s history. As thousands gear up to protest at 14 sites, the state faces potential shortages not just in milk but cheese and yoghurt, too. From 3 a.m. tomorrow, eastern Victoria will see a halt in milk tanker operations, jeopardising supply lines from primary farmers. Concurrently, 1,400 determined dairy workers in Melbourne are set for a 48-hour industrial pause starting Wednesday. Amid calls for better wages and job security, the United Workers Union highlights the growing signs of a dairy industry in crisis. https://lnkd.in/gWVXUiQN

#UAW members initiated a strike after rejecting a five-year collective bargaining agreement proposed by Mack Trucks. This strike, involving over 3,900 employees across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Florida, followed the rejection by more than 70 percent of union members. It comes just a week after a tentative agreement was reached to avert a strike. Mack Trucks, a part of the Volvo Group, offered significant wage increases and guaranteed no health insurance premium hikes during the contract term. Both sides express commitment to bargaining, with Mack's president surprised by the strike, while the UAW president applauds members' determination for a better deal.

PSAC members working for CBSA have voted overwhelmingly to strike, with 96% in favor of job action during votes held from April 10 to May 23. PSAC national president Chris Aylward stated that the strong strike mandate shows members' willingness to take action to secure a fair contract. He urged the Treasury Board and CBSA to make a fair offer to avoid a repeat of the 2021 strike. In 2021, a strike by CBSA workers nearly halted commercial cross-border traffic before a 35-hour bargaining session resulted in an agreement. PSAC members have been without a contract for more than two years. The union is seeking fair wages aligned with other law enforcement agencies, flexible telework and remote work options, equitable retirement benefits, and stronger protections around discipline, technological change, and hours of work. Because they're deemed an essential service, CBSA workers cannot strike. However, if they implement a “Work To Rule” strategy, this could severely slow down cross-border traffic, including imports and exports. We will keep you updated as the strike progresses. We hope for a swift and equitable resolution. #NorthAmericanFreightGroup #FreightForwarding #ImportExport

Dockworkers at Germany's largest ports in Hamburg and Bremerhaven initiated a two-day strike starting on Tuesday, July 9, demanding higher wages. Workers from Wilhelmshaven, Bremen, and Emden are slated to join the strike on Wednesday, July 10. Organized by the Verdi union, the strike commenced with early shifts and includes decentralized protests at workplaces, culminating in a scheduled demonstration on Wednesday. Verdi seeks to intensify pressure on employers during wage negotiations, pushing for a retroactive €3 ($3.20) per hour wage increase from June 1, coupled with enhanced shift allowances. Negotiations between Verdi and the Central Association of German Seaport Operators (ZDS) are set for July 11-12 in Bremen, following earlier strikes across northern German ports in June. https://lnkd.in/gbJiQCYv

2024 Topics to Track* #9. Strikes. The cancelation of today's first bargaining session by east coast dockworkers, citing concerns over port automation, (https://lnkd.in/eVbZdqqk) highlights the challenge of predicting labor action and the importance of scenario planning. And it’s not just in the US… - The union representing Canada’s border agents extended their strike deadline for a second time as negotiations assisted by a federal mediator continue. (https://lnkd.in/evWWKi53) - Workers at Germany’s Port of Hamburg staged a one-day strike at container terminals and are threatening a walkout at Bremerhaven. (https://lnkd.in/eyZDvW3E) - Labour unions representing French dock workers are threatening to stage several one-day strikes this month in protest of pension reform. (https://lnkd.in/e9XF-BXb) - The Threat of a Canadian rail strike is looming (https://lnkd.in/edW9HFkF) So what? - The on-again-off-again nature of labor negotiations and the impact of past strikes forces companies to reconfigure the flow of goods as the deadline approaches, which causes disruption even if the strike does not go ahead. - The greater the 'risk concentration' for a company, industry or country (ports/borders/railways), the greater the bargaining power of labor. This has always been true but is now a more powerful bargaining tool with the pain of the pandemic still visible in the rear view mirror. - The loss of jobs to automation was cited by west coast dockworkers and is now front-and-center for east coast unions. This is a tough balancing act for US ports as they continue to slide down port efficiency rankings: https://lnkd.in/eusR3thi With persistent inflation (wage pressure), an inexorable drive towards automation (job loss) and recent labor successes (UAW), this is a topic to track. * other 2024 Topics to Track can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e8TMf4Yt #supplychain #supplychainrisk #supplychainresilience #labor #ports Adebayo Adeleke Alan Amling Benjamin Gordon Daniel Stanton Gary S.

Unions have declared workers are “locked and loaded” to unleash industrial action against Chevron as they revealed a landmark deal at Woodside would deliver annual pay packets of $365,000 for some workers. The Offshore Alliance, consisting of the Australian Workers Union and Maritime Union of Australia, said 500 members across three of Chevron’s facilities backed industrial action. Unions said the new agreement with Woodside locked in fixed remuneration for workers of between $265,000 and $365,000 a year, with rates subject to annual indexation. Workers would be eligible to receive further “variable” remuneration each year of between $26,000 and $59,000. Any roster changes must be mutually agreed between management and employees’ and there will be improved “gold standard” catering and four extra chefs. The Australian https://lnkd.in/ghw_aVvg

Once again Bus Eireann Staff (who went on Official Strike for 9 weeks not long ago) demonstrate their contempt for the customers and taxpayers who subsidise this transport White Elephant. There is NO legal protection for unofficial strikes, they break the law and make a farce of Industrial Relations frameworks and there is no excuse for the weasel words of Dinosaur Union Boss Dermot O'Leary. Workers who take this wildcat action don't care about the suffering they inflict, they should be sacked and their feather bedded jobs advertised. Bus Eireann should be closed down, the bus stations should be open to all operators, standards and ticketing can be maintained by tendering routes to operators who meet objective quality and safety standards and the customer put first. The annual farce of School Bus chaos by Bus Eireann and customers suffering from no shows and annual strikes must end and the €278 million subsidy by the taxpayer put to better use https://lnkd.in/eJQggkhG

CN & CP Rail Worker Strike Update - May 13 As many of you are aware, on May 1 at 1:00 p.m., it was announced that CN and CP rail workers had voted 95% in favor of striking due to stalled negotiations for a new collective agreement. Subsequently, both railways and the union entered a mandatory 21-day negotiation period, facilitated by the federal government to reach a resolution. If an agreement cannot be reached, the earliest the strike could commence is May 22. In response to the impending rail workers' strike, the Canadian Government has taken action as Canada's Federal Labour Minister requested the Industrial Relations Board to examine the strike and assess if it poses any safety concerns. Given the critical role of the Canadian Rail system, a strike could disrupt the transportation of essential healthcare products and fuel used for hospital backup generators. Until the Industrial Relations Board reaches a decision on the matter, rail workers will be prohibited from striking due to safety considerations.

Hamburg Port Strike: Employees have brought Germany's two biggest container hubs to a standstill, with workers at a third port set to join them. The union Verdi hopes to put pressure on port operators in collective bargaining over wages. The union has called on workers in Hamburg to stage all-day walkouts on Tuesday and Wednesday ahead of a fourth round of negotiations. Negotiations for a new collective agreement for the 11,500 German North Sea port employees began in May. The strike in Hamburg started at 6:30 a.m. local time and was set to run for 48 hours. Employees at the commercial ports of Bremen and Bremerhaven joined the walkout on Tuesday afternoon for 24 hours, with Germany's westernmost seaport, Emden, set to come to a standstill for a day on Wednesday. The purpose of warning strikes, which can be staged without a ballot of union members, is to force collective bargaining in deadlocked or unproductive negotiations. ZDS said that discussions so far had been "intense but constructive" and that it did not believe the strikes were warranted. "The right to strike is enshrined in Germany's constitution. However, when exercising the right to strike, moderation and balance should be maintained" "In light of the constructive rounds of negotiations to date and the fair offer presented, the ZDS believes there is currently no reason for warning strikes that would compromise the reliability of German seaports." Warning strikes also took place at ports in June. The latest strikes come ahead of talks on Thursday and Friday of this week in Bremen. From Germany New Agency

On August 29, 1998, Northwest Airlines pilots went on strike after every effort was made to get a fair deal with management working through the RLA negotiating process. The airline was making record profits, unlike in the early ’90s when pilots and other employees provided the company with $886 million in labor concessions to help stave off bankruptcy. Pilots and their families took a stand for fairness to recoup these significant losses. Northwest Airlines, then the fourth-largest U.S. carrier providing 12 percent of air service—shut down for 15 days. Management petitioned President Bill Clinton to intervene, but he declined, unlike 18 months earlier when he ordered American Airlines pilots back to work only minutes after the start of that strike. NWA pilots were successful due to many reasons, including: ✅ Determined MEC leaders with a calculated plan of action backed by a unified pilot group; ✅ A multi-pronged negotiations and communications strategy with clear messaging; ✅ A well-organized Strike Committee with seven strike centers across the system and an engaged pilot/spouse-run Family Awareness Program; ✅ ALPA national member/staff support and a $6 million Major Contingency Fund allocation. The Northwest pilots’ stand and their contract gains paved the way for other ALPA pilot groups such as Delta, United, and FedEx to negotiate their own contract improvements. Let us recognize these brave pilots and their families. As a union, we can draw on the past and emulate their courage and focus.
Remembering the Northwest Airlines strike 25 years later.
