Mars Chocolate Australia’s Ballarat site was affected by stoppages in a bid by unions to force progress in negotiations with the company over an enterprise bargaining agreement.
Australian Manufacturing Workers Union spokesman Colin Muir said he would request further meetings with Mars before another 24-hour strike, scheduled to start at 10pm on Wednesday next week.
Mr Muir said he wanted Mr Ryan to be present in upcoming discussions.
“We want him involved in the meetings and we are also going to be speaking to Fair Work Australia to see if they’ll be involved. (Discussions) have got to happen, not in six weeks time,” Mr Muir said.
Mr Muir said further low-level action was planned during the rest of this week, and if no resolution had been made by 4pm next Wednesday, paperwork would be filed to escalate more industrial action for the following week.
