The exclusive Caterpillar dealer in Queensland, Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea, Hastings aimed to implement up to a 25% pay cut for some workers through a new enterprise agreement with the Queensland Resources Council supporting the move.
"It's tough to take a pay cut but people are opting for taking home an attractive wage rather than no wage at all,鈥� QRC CEO Michael Roche said a fortnight ago.
According to CQ News, Hastings put two separate agreements out to a vote of employees despite there being a substantial number of clauses 鈥渞equiring further discussions鈥�
鈥淭he results of the ballot were released this Tuesday with both agreements being voted down by employees,鈥� the newspaper reported on Friday.
鈥淭he company is yet to release the full breakdown of how workers voted.鈥�
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union secretary Rohan Webb said the workforce wanted a single agreement with fair conditions and called for Hastings Deering to come back to the bargaining table.
