Australia: Truck Driver Strike

August 23rd, 2021

For those in Australia: While this is indicating that the strike will only last for 24-hours, it would be a good idea to pay close attention to the situation. Any extended driver strike would be extremely disruptive.

Via: Business Insider:

Australia will need to brace for major disruptions from Friday as it experiences its first road transport strike in more than a decade.

Thousands of truck drivers will go on strike on Friday after negotiations broke down between multi-billion dollar logistics company Toll and the Transport Workers Union (TWU).

The industrial action, supported by 94% of the workforce, will see workers pack it in for a full 24 hours, grinding deliveries to a halt, and creating a wave of backlogs and delays.
