NSW: Parcel workers continue 24 hour strike
Australia Post has called in extra staff to help handle Christmas deliveries, as 850
parcel workers continue a 24 hour strike across New South Wales.
The postie sorters are on a 24 hour strike which began at 10pm (AEDT) last night, after
talks broke down between the mail giant and the Communications Electrical Plumbing Union.
The strike relates to a relocation of staff to Australia Post's upgraded parcel network
due to open at Chullora in Sydney's west in March next year.
Australia Post spokeswoman ELIZABETH RICH says the corporation is extremely disappointed
the union has chosen to strike two weeks before Christmas.
