CSL drop charges against MUA10 May 2004By Bill Giddins - National Industrial Officer
Canadian Steamship Line has agreed to drop its secondary boycott action against all parties involved in the Yarra dispute. The company had taken secondary boycott action in the Federal Court against the MUA, AWU, AIMPE, ACTU and individual officers including MUA assistant national secretaries Mick Doleman and Rick Newlyn, AWU National Secretary Bill Shorten and ACTU President Sharan Burrow. The matter was settled in mediation before the Court Register on April 27. All parties have agreed to meet their own legal costs, however CSL has agreed to a sum which will cover union costs for the High Court action CSL lost last year when the full bench ruled in favour of the unions over Commission jurisdiction of foreign ships working in the domestic coastal trade.
