Wharf bans in Melbourne prohibited by court ruling
Three judges of the Commonwealth Industrial Court prohibited the Waterside Workers' Federation from any ban during the period in question. The court ruled the union must instruct members to work on Sundays to avoid further litigation by shipowners, though the federation opposed being forced to comply. The court rejected a blanket six month ban across Australian ports. The chief judge noted watersiders have historically worked Sundays if required and an award breach would result if the federation barred Sunday labor.
