Thanks so much for these reports, Sarah! I really enjoy reading them and it's super motivating hearing about how workers (that I otherwise wouldn't hear about) are taking action for better wages and conditions.
Ahhh yes the good old 426 Suspension for harm on a third party. Sydney Metro used it against the ETU during our 2022 negotiations with Sydney Trains, and luckily we won! Sydney Metro couldn’t prove serious enough economic harm given how over budget they were for the City and Southwest section already!
It is quite often that the freight companies or their suppliers like Manildra will rely on a 426 to get industrial action removed on rail or other supply chains. Shame!
It's a shocker of a thing, isn't it? The thing that really got me about this one is it's not that it was having an effect on production, just that it was making production *more* expensive! I thought Allen Hicks summed it up really well putting it in terms of business profits being protected at the expense of the rights of workers to fight for decent wages.
