Case study

In August 2007, Australian workers at the head office of TNT Shared Services Pty Limited rejected a new contract intended to replace an expired union-backed agreement. The workers’ union, the Australian Services Union, said the new contract would mean an increase in hours without any significant wage rise, and the removal of the right to some public holidays.

The company asked workers to vote on the new contract. Workers responded with a petition signed by over 75 per cent of the employees affected, urging the company to negotiate the terms of the contract with the union. The union also carried out a successful ‘vote no’ campaign in an effort to have the agreement voted down.

The support of the Transport Workers’ Union of Australia, which represents workers at another TNT operation in Australia was enlisted and other TNT unions around the world were called on to lobby the company on the issue. A meeting of road transport workers in Belgium in September unanimously adopted a resolution, moved by Dutch ITF affiliate FNV Bondgenoten, supporting the Australian union.
