Wilmar Sugar and Renewables and representatives of three unions met last week at the company’s request to discuss current positions in relation to their enterprise bargaining dispute.
Wilmar suggested today’s meeting following discussions two weeks ago in Townsville facilitated by Fair Work Commissioner Bernie Riordan.
Subsequent to those discussions, Commissioner Riordan recommended some potential solutions to a range of issues in dispute.
A Wilmar spokesman said last week’s meeting established that each side saw merit in exploring at least some of the Commissioner’s suggestions and a number of options were raised.
“We reinforced again our commitment to finding a mutually acceptable solution by suggesting new options for an agreement based in large part on a suggested solution from Commissioner Riordan,” he said.
“We see these as a possible opportunity for headway.
“We have left it with unions to come back to us on the options put forward,” the spokesman said.
