Parcel threat to ease as union settles dispute with delivery company

Christmas parcel deliveries no longer face the threat of strikes after Australia Post’s package shipment business and the transport union resolved an almost year-long dispute over pay and conditions.

“Settling a fair deal is the early Christmas present StarTrack workers deserve,” said Transport Workers Union national secretary Michael Kaine. “It’s a relief for workers that their job security will be locked in, and they’ll be given fair recognition for slogging it out in depots and in vans during COVID.”

“Our focus has always been to keep our people safe, deliver for our customers and the community, and create a sustainable future, and we have worked hard to deliver an agreement that provides enhanced job security and an industry-leading wage offer,” said StarTrack spokeswoman Michelle Skehan.The transport union counts about 2000 members at StarTrack. Mr Kaine, said he was glad the company had reached an agreement.
