Cruise Whitsundays released a statement earlier this week outlining how disappointed they are that all negotiations have once again fallen short of a resolution with the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA).
As a result, the MUA have announced its third seven-day strike action which is due to commence today, a move which Cruise Whitsundays say is disappointing not only to the company but also the employees who are keen to move on.
Cruise Whitsundays say they believe offers have been “fair and reasonable”, with over 30 claims already agreed to and a 9.6% average wage increase in 2023 (or 10.5% for tenured employees).
“This offer is well ahead of the average FairWork approved agreements of 3.8% in the last quarter, over 4% ahead of the national CPI and the wage growth index.”
