AN AGREEMENT between CBH Group and employees represented by the Maritime Union of Australia and the Electrical Trades Union has brought an end to a more than two-week lockout at the Kwinana Grain Terminal.
Plant operators and maintenance workers at Kwinana have been negotiating with CBH Group over a new enterprise agreement for about seven months.
CBH chief people officer Jacky Connolly said the co-operative put a new proposal to the staff and unions at the end of last week.
“On Friday 17 October, the unions took the offer to a workforce meeting for an informal vote and advised CBH the offer was accepted.
The Kwinana Grain Terminal is WA’s largest grain-export facility, shipping more than half of the state’s total grain production on average each year.
