Talk:1998 Australian waterfront dispute

message: This article needs a lot more detail and jumps from one unrelated point to the next. Unfortunately it is not really something I know much about. I will start adding material sooner or later. I hope others can help. Dankru 07:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I do agree that the article concentrates too much on the judicial process and not enough on the earlier clashes. 60.229.35.28 (talk) 04:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I have read the section in question and did not see any signs of one POV being pushed over the other. Furthermore, the dispute has grown stagnant. If the dispute arises again, contact me before re'adding the NPOV tag.Drew Smith   What I've done 22:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: This article is absurd. It reads like it was pulled from the MUA's website, and has 6 references for a litany of contentious statements. It needs a rewrite, preferably by a group, of which at least one person should be unaffiliated with the ACTU. The article reads like this was a strategy dreamed up by corporate fatcats in opulent offices to screw the little guy and his union, while the union and its members are presented as completely without fault, besides vague references to diminishing productivity. Anyone who can fix this article pleeease do so, it's an embarrassment. Dallas (talk) 12:08, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased and unreferenced 

message: {{Substituted comment|length=1332|lastedit=20080124130939|comment=I think the article needs some balance and that both sides of the story should be put forward.
The non union employees were never engaged to be a strike breaker force, they were under contract to work in all ports as assigned in the Asia- Pacific area.
They never expeccted what would eventuate with the Maritime dispute. Fynwest (Private Military Company) were later joined by a group called PCS (Producer Consumer Stevadores) which was finacially back by the NFF (National Farmers Federation).  I know from the Fynwest employess that they were very well paid and recieved bonuses and commissions during the dispute.
We may all have different political opinons to that of the MUA, However it was a the MUA that returned to work even though they no longer held a strangle hold on Australian waterside employment.  
I have been able to trace documents, contracts and agreements, there is also a book produced by Helen Trinca and Anne Davies, titled the Waterside that give a more detailed insight of the the dispute. Search for
