ABC strike called

ABC strike called

ABC staff across Australia will down tools for two hours tomorrow (Wednesday) as union members have rejected a revised pay offer from management.

ABC employees will stop work for an hour at 7am and again at 3pm.

Programming has already been disrupted for an unrelated reason yesterday (Monday) and today at the Mount Gambier studios of ABC South East.

Staff at the Penola Road premises are undertaking training with programming being temporarily sourced from another ABC station in rural South Australia.

Last week the Community and Public Sector Union and the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance held meetings and resolved the key point in dispute was inadequate career pathways for ABC employees.

A planned strike was called by the two unions earlier this month but was postponed after ABC managing director David Anderson put forward a revised offer.

The SE Voice has approached staff for comment.
