Australia Port Worker Dies in Job Related Accident.

Container shipping to Australia has come to a stop since the latest death of a port worker. The third worker to die in the last 5 months has brought the Maritime Union of Australian to shut down 15 wharves for at least 24 hours.   

The 41 year old dock worker died when a 3 ton steal beam came down on him, crushing him during standard working operations. The Maritime Union of Australia says it is time for improvements in work conditions.
