ABC Journalists Strike in 24-Hour Walkout, Broadcasts Switch to BBC

More than 1,000 staff in Australia walk out over pay and conditions; BHP electricians ballot for Pilbara action as disputes widen

More than 1,000 journalists and staff at Australia’s public broadcaster, the ABC, began a 24-hour strike after rejecting the company’s latest three-year enterprise agreement offer, prompting many TV and radio programs to be replaced with BBC content while emergency broadcasts remain on air. The stoppage runs from 11am AEDT Wednesday to 11am Thursday, following a vote in which 60% of participating staff opposed pay proposals of a 3.5% rise in the first year and 3.25% in the next two years, plus a $1,000 bonus. ABC Managing Director Hugh Marks apologized to audiences and said services would be maintained but below usual standards.

In Australia’s resources sector, about 60 high-voltage electrical workers at BHP’s Pilbara operations voted for protected industrial action, which unions say would be the first strike in the region in decades. Abroad, Arriva engineers in Luton voted to strike over workplace allegations and a union steward’s suspension, B&G Foods workers in the United States voted to strike over pay, Ohio’s Job and Family Services staff remain on strike pending state-mandated mediation, and BMW’s San Luis Potosí plant agreed to an 8% raise and 0.5% bonus that averted a strike.

Key Insight
