Centrelink and Medicare to strike on Monday morning
RUMOUR CONFIRMED: Staff at Centrelink and Medicare will walk off the job on Monday morning for an hour.
As reported on The Rumour File, staff from the Department of Human Services are going on strike over their collective bargaining agreement.
Nadine Flood, national secretary of the Community and Public Sector Union, told Ross and John that further government departments would follow next week.
Workers will walk off the job at 11.30am on Monday.
"We do expect there will be some delays around lunch time queues," Ms Flood said.
"These staff are proud of the work they do. They don't want to disrupt the community but they're facing a pretty vicious attack on their rights and conditions."
Ms Flood said the federal government had stripped workers' rights out of existing agreements.
