Maritime Union fuels Julia GIllard's war on foreign workers - The Australian



THE Maritime Union of Australia has launched a new assault on foreign workers, demanding up to 56 days' extra pay if Australian crew come into contact with them.



The demand - in a draft enterprise bargaining document prepared by the MUA for negotiations in the oil and gas industry and obtained by The Weekend Australian - calls for 28 days' pay and an additional 28 days' leave if a vessel operator or owner "engages foreign labour in the demobilisation or mobilisation of a vessel that has been working on the Australian coast".
