Industrial Action * Australia - TWU in hot water over

Sydney,NSW,Australia -ATN, by Brad Gardner -January 22, 2010: -- The Transport Workers Union (TWU) will face court over claims it committed unlawful industrial action against McColl’s Transport... The Fair Work Ombudsman claims the union and its representative, Neale Harper, breached workplace laws after conducting the action in protest of the dismissal of a McColl’s employee who was also a TWU member... According to the Ombudsman, the full-day strike on February 16 at the company’s depot in western Sydney was illegal because it occurred before the expiry of an enterprise bargaining agreement for McColl’s transport employees... While the union faces a maximum fine of $33,000, Harper may also be slapped with a $6600 bill for his actions...
