AbC

Workers at Australia’s national broadcaster the ABC have begun their first major strike in 20 years. Journalists and technicians struck nationwide, after they rejected a pay offer from management of 3.5%. Unions are demanding 6% just to keep pace with inflation and the cost of living. The industrial action has resulted in widespread disruptions to news and radio services across the country. Neither side has budged as the public broadcaster endures its biggest wave of worker unrest in years.
