The AMOU has attended a hearing and a conference this week in
connection with the Port Kembla Pilots.
Port Kembla Pilots are in dispute with Port Kembla Port
Corporation on the following matters:
- A new enterprise agreement (existing agreement concluded in
2009) - Port Kembla Pilots want the same as Sydney Pilots which
PKPC says represents a 48% increase.
- An additional pilot to bring the number up to eight.
- A new 'belt roster' - same as Sydney.
- Changes to the existing port operating guidelines to increase
from three tugs to four on cape size.
- Maximum of four ship movements per shift.
- A car/allowance to be provided free of cost for each
Pilot.
- Income protection insurance to age 65.
- Performance payments.
