Industrial action by Tasmania 's electrical workers union is threatening to spike tomorrow's crucial AFL clash at York Park.
The Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union is holding out for a pay increase for TasNetworks staff, with tomorrow's game caught in the crossfire amidst a stall in negotiations., which saw the University of Tasmania's Inveresk campus without power for 36 hours earlier this week have also affected nearby York Park, which is slated to host the crucial final-round fixture.
And with plans to potentially picket tomorrow afternoon's game, interstate contractors are being encouraged by the union not to cross picket lines should they be called upon to resolve any power outage. It is understood the preferred solution would be a relocation of the match to Melbourne, however, the logistics of that are unclear with both Hawthorn and North Melbourne already in Tasmania, and broadcast trucks bumped in at the ground.
