After two years of negotiation, the new Patrick Terminals Enterprise Agreement has been voted up by employees across all four Patrick terminals.
The new deal provides Patrick Terminals with increased operational flexibility to better meet customers’ needs and service the changing supply chain landscape. The new agreement provides Patrick Terminals with the right to recruit at their discretion without restrictive union quotas.
Michael Jovicic, CEO Patrick Terminals said, “We are pleased to have secured support for our new enterprise agreement across our workforce. This new four-year arrangement provides the flexibility that we sought in regard to recruitment and will allow us to better service our customers in regard to manning, new technology and operational efficiency. We would like to thank our customers for their patience over the past 2 years and now look forward to a future of industrial stability on the Patrick waterfront.”
The new Enterprise Agreement will now be lodged with the Fair Work Commission to ratify.
