Strikes planned at ports across Australia threaten to cripple imports ahead of Christmas, AAP reports.

The Maritime Union of Australia has launched industrial action at Patrick Terminals sites in Brisbane, Fremantle, Melbourne and Sydney, in what the shipping container terminal operator has described as bewildering".

Patrick Terminals CEO Michael Jovic says the company has been negotiating with the union since February 2020 and has held almost 70 meetings to finalise a new enterprise agreement.

Wharfies plan to strike in Sydney's Port Botany next weekend and every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in Melbourne for the month of October.

Jovic says the strikes will have ramifications for all Australians in the lead up to Christmas, given more than 40% of all container freight comes through Patrick terminals.
