Australia Post-owned delivery company StarTrack has moved to terminate a planned strike by its workers over job security, claiming it will imperil coronavirus vaccine supplies as the rollout of the Moderna jab begins.
The union slammed that as an attempt to use the pandemic to stop its workers from protecting their jobs. “Medical supplies and vaccines are, now and always, exempted from strike action,” it said in a statement. “It is an extremely difficult manual process to separately identify and extract [vaccines and medical supplies] once they’ve entered our system,” Ms Skehan said. “Collection of vaccines and medical supplies also require drivers to collect the products and we anticipate drivers may not be available during industrial action.

Asher_Wolf nickbonyhady I worked for auspost at the start of the pandemic, and these drivers were expected to work 7 day weeks with long hours, doing many more loads than normal, delivering everything for everyone without the same pay conditions as auspost staff. They deserve a lot of public support.
