Strikes threaten Australia Easter air travel
Australia's Department of Immigration and Border Protection Tuesday joined other public sector workers in a growing strike that will hit air travel at the nation's biggest airports ahead of the holiday weekend. The strike could severely inconvenience international and domestic travellers as the nation heads into a four-day weekend for the Easter holiday, one of the busiest times of year for air travel. "Our goal is to put pressure on the agency and on the govt to actually talk with us. That's entirely the reason why this is being held, and the timing is because that's the timing that will apply the most pressure," a CPSU spokesman said. Strikes at major airports, which are aimed at ending a 2-year contract dispute between public sector workers and the federal govt, will continue after the holiday weekend. <br/>
