ABC staff to strike for 24 hours after rejecting 10% pay rise offer over three years
More than 75% of Australian Broadcasting Corporation staff will strike for 24 hours starting Wednesday at 11am, the first strike in 20 years. Staff rejected a 10% pay rise over three years (3.5% first year, 3.25% in years two and three) with 60% voting against the enterprise agreement. The strike involves both journalist and non-journalist unions and is expected to severely disrupt ABC's television and radio services.
