The ABC’s first industrial action in more than 15 years could be one step closer after 70 per cent of media union members voted within three days.
’s media union workforce voted in the first three days of an internal ballot, which the union believes has already reached the majority needed for its first industrial action in more than 15 years.
“It takes a lot for journalists at the ABC to consider doing something like this, they’re deeply committed to their role informing the public. But they’re at breaking point, and this dispute is about the future of the ABC,” Cassie Derrick, director of MEAA Media, said. The MEAA and Community and Public Sector Union , which both represent ABC employees, filed with the Fair Work Commission earlier in February asking to petition members after negotiations fell through.
