Transport Stoppage Cancelled After Conference
The Transport Workers Union called off a planned 24 hour stoppage after a compulsory conference led by Mr Gough. Employers may face pressure to drop the no strike clause from the Innsport award as the protest against £5300 fines imposed by the Commonwealth Industrial Court was resolved. AGTU secretary Mr Souter welcomed the union’s adherence to ACTU guidance and noted local arrangements for the protest were cancelled. TWU ACT branch president Mr Carpenter said broadcast messages that the mass protest meeting is off were in error.
