Railway workers’ strike

Workers at Aurizon Railways went out on strike yesterday afternoon (Tuesday 28 May) for the next 48 hours after pay talks between the company and unions hit a road block. This is expected to cause further delays in coal arrivals at ports in North Queensland.

This second industrial action announced this year affects Mount Isa, Cloncurry, Hughenden, Townsville, Mackay, Longreach, Emerald, Gladstone, Rockhampton, Maryborough and Acacia Ridge (Brisbane). It follows week-long overtime bans imposed by the unions.
