Australia public broadcaster staff strike over pay for first time in 20 years
Around 1,000 workers at Australia’s public broadcaster (ABC) went on strike for the first time in 20 years over pay and working conditions. Employees rejected a proposed wage increase, arguing it did not keep up with inflation and excluded some workers. The strike disrupted programming and highlights tensions over real wages and job security.
