Enterprise bargaining discussions between Wilmar Sugar and Renewables and representatives of three unions in Townsville earlier this week on Tuesday have been described as constructive by a Wilmar company spokesman.
A Fair Work Commissioner assisted in the discussions and the Wilmar spokesman said that in the course of the day the parties had succeeded in narrowing the gap further between unions’ claims and company offers.
The Commissioner, Bernie Riordan, has offered to provide further input and remain available should the parties wish him to contribute further.
“These confidential discussions are ongoing and without prejudice, so we do not intend to discuss details outside the negotiating room,” said the company spokesman.
He added that Wilmar Sugar and Renewables was disappointed to receive notification of further industrial action from all three unions within 15 minutes of Tuesday’s discussions concluding.
