Balanced News: Government urged to end DP World strike costing $20m a day

The peak shipping body, Shipping Australia, has called on the Australian government to end the ongoing strike at DP World, claiming that it is costing the wider economy $20 million per day. The strike, which was planned before a cyberattack on DP World, is being carried out by the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) in response to proposed rostering changes. Shipping Australia argues that the strike, combined with the cyberattack, is causing significant economic harm and is urging the government to intervene. The MUA has accused Shipping Australia of representing international ship owners and called for action against wage theft in the industry.
