Tugboat workers at Teekay Shipping Australia have voted to undertake strike action for one, two or seven days, but remain in talks with Teekay, according to the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA). Tugboat workers are threatening to strike over demands to give deckhands, who work four weeks-on then get four weeks off, annual leave and up to 70 percent of a tug master's pay. No timeframe for the strike has been given, but workers must do so within 30 days and give Teekay three days’ notice of their intended action.
