The Australian Institute of Marine and Power Engineers did not undertake their follow-up industrial action planned after an initial stoppage on June 1.
The union held a six hour stoppage of Smit Lamnalcoâs Gladstone Port operations on June 1, following safety concerns arising out of new company policy.
AIMPE planned to hold an eight hour stoppage on Tuesday, June 8.
According to AIMPE federal president Martin Byrne, the union withdrew its follow-up action planned for that day.
This was to enable further consultations.
The next meetings between AIMPE and Smit Lamnalco are scheduled for June 22 and 23.
Smit Lamnalco believes their âimprovementsâ were made to modernise and streamline their maintenance strategy.
