✊ SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MUA MEMBERS STAND IN 100% UNION SOLIDARITY! ✊

South Australian MUA members are standing shoulder to shoulder with the workers at Flinders Ports as they take Protected Industrial Action to secure and advance their claims.The flexibility, loyalty, and commitment these workers provide to FPH deserves respect, and that means fair and decent wage increases with CPI assurances and back pay! 🛑⚓

Show your support! Drop your solidarity messages in the comments below to back this united workgroup. 👇

MUA members and friends who are available- please get along to support the CEPU members from Service Stream who have put out an unendorsed and undervalued offer to vote on. Service stream just posted an $81M profit but don’t value their workers. Vote No. Get down there, show your support, have a sausage and support this small group of undervalued workers. ✊🏼

Service Stream posted an $81 million profit in their latest sharelholder report and we think they can probably afford to pay industry standard wages.

CEPU SA members who work for Service Stream at are taking industrial action at the Edinburgh RAAF Base in response to the company pushing out an offer with pay and conditions below industry standards.

This small but mighty cohort of workers need all the support we can give them to win a fair deal.

Come along tomorrow morning to show your solidarity (and grab a BBQ breakfast) ✊

Maritime Union of Australia members at ACFS Logistics voted overwhelmingly in favour of Protected Industrial Action, sending a clear message to the company that workers are united and prepared to fight for a fair deal.

This campaign is focused on securing:

• Better wages that recognize the skills, commitment and hard work of our members.
• Increased superannuation contributions to help workers retire with dignity.
• Stronger conditions that reflect the work performed every day to keep ACFS operations running across Victoria and South Australia.
• Respect, security and fairness for the workers who are the backbone of the business.

Our members have spoken with one voice. They are standing together and demanding an agreement that properly values their contribution and delivers real improvements for workers and their families.

The MUA remains committed to achieving a fair outcome through bargaining, but our members are prepared to take action if necessary to win the wages and conditions they deserve.

MUA HERE TO STAY.
United, we stand. An injury to one is an injury to all.

Some people make a difference with grand gestures. Others do it quietly, consistently, and without seeking recognition.

Today, Malcolm Gregory achieved an incredible milestone: his 200th plasma donation with the Australian Red Cross.

Think about that for a moment. Every donation takes around 45 minutes, and Malcolm has made that commitment almost every two weeks over many years. Hundreds of hours spent giving something of himself to help complete strangers.

What inspires me most is why he does it.

Through his work at Flinders Port's FACT Terminal, Malcolm has seen the devastating impact cancer can have on individuals, families and entire communities. He's witnessed the challenges people face and the toll it takes on those around them. Rather than standing on the sidelines, Malcolm chose to act. Donating plasma became his way of giving back and helping people during some of the toughest moments of their lives.

We're often told that a single plasma donation can help save up to three lives. While the numbers are impressive, what really matters is the hope, comfort and opportunity that each donation provides to someone in need.

Malcolm's 200 donations represent far more than a milestone. They represent kindness. Compassion. Selflessness. A commitment to others that has never wavered.❤️

The world needs more people like Malcolm Gregory. People who quietly show up, do their part, and make their community stronger through their actions.

Malcolm, thank you. Thank you for your generosity, your dedication, and for reminding us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

You may not wear a cape, but to many people whose lives have been touched by your donations, you're every bit a superhero. 🙏

Congratulations on an amazing achievement.🥳

Today marks the end of an era on the South Australian coast.

After 42 years of dedicated service, the Accolade II departed Port Adelaide for the very last time this morning.

For generations of maritime workers, seafarers and port workers -the Accolade II has been a familiar and respected presence on the water. She has played a critical role in enabling Adelaide Brighton Cement production, while providing steady (and all too rare) SA based employment for seafarers.

This morning members, supporters, friends and family gathered beneath the old signal tower to bid her a fitting farewell as she made her final voyage from Port Adelaide.

Thank you to the crew, past and present, who served aboard her over the decades. Your professionalism, skill, and commitment has established the Accolade II's proud legacy and added to an important chapter in the maritime history of South Australia.

Fair winds and following seas, Accolade II. You will not be forgotten.

Her replacement the Yampu is en route now

REMINDER: May Day March is tomorrow - Saturday 2 May 2026 at 10am at Victoria Square. Join workers across SA as we take to the streets to celebrate solidarity and working-class power!

Let's rally together for a better future!

Today on May Day, we stand in solidarity with workers across South Australia and around the world.

From the docks to the decks here in South Australia, MUA members play a vital role in keeping our state connected — moving the cargo that supports local jobs, industry, and our communities.

May Day is a time to recognise the strength and unity of working people, and to remember that every right on the job has been fought for and won through collective action.

We honour those who came before us on these docks and decks, and we stand together to protect the conditions, safety, and dignity of maritime workers today and into the future.

An injury to one is an injury to all.

✊
