What happened
Toll Transport Pty Limited applied for approval of the Toll & MUA WA Stevedoring Agreement 2026, a greenfields agreement. The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) acted as the bargaining agent. The agreement covers employees performing work under the agreement. The Fair Work Commission considered whether the agreement met the requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009.
What was decided
The Fair Work Commission approved the Toll & MUA WA Stevedoring Agreement 2026. The Commission inserted a delegates’ rights clause from the Stevedoring Industry Award 2020 to ensure it was not less favourable than the award. The agreement will operate from August 28, 2026, and expire on June 30, 2029. The MUA is covered by the agreement.
What it means for employers
the Respondent entering into greenfields agreements must ensure delegates’ rights terms are not less favourable than those in relevant awards. They must also comply with all requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009 for agreement approval.
What it means for employees
the Applicant covered by the Toll & MUA WA Stevedoring Agreement 2026 will have delegates’ rights consistent with the Stevedoring Industry Award 2020. The MUA will be covered by the agreement.
