The Transport Workers Union (TWU) says FedEx workers plan to hold rolling four-hour stop-work actions across the country from Monday if the company does not come back to the table and provide a “fair” agreement offer.
Late yesterday, workers notified the company of stoppages across New South Wales and Queensland to take place on Monday.
More actions are planned across other states in the following days unless FedEx resumes the constructive talks that were leading to an agreement being reached.
Talks have not resumed since negotiations broke down on October 21, when the TWU says FedEx rolled back progression towards reaching an agreement with an 11th-hour attempt to change its terms.

FedEx workers are calling on the major transport operator to work cooperatively and finalise a fair agreement that secures their future and repays their restraint throughout the pandemic, the union said.
TWU national secretary Michael Kaine said FedEx’s “games” are hurting workers, businesses and the public.
