ABC staff strike for first time in 20 years
Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
ABC staff are staging their first strike in 20 years, with a 24-hour walkout beginning at 11am Wednesday that will take live programs off air, including the 7 o'clock news and 7.30 current affairs program. The industrial action follows union members' rejection of ABC boss Hugh Marks' offer of a 10 per cent pay increase over three years plus a $1,000 sign-on bonus, with 60 per cent of staff voting against the proposal while demanding higher pay and greater job security.
