As the COVID-19 vaccine debate continues, thousands of StartTrak delivery drivers have announced that they are walking off the jobs starting from this Wednesday at midnight. In this recent article from News.com, online shoppers have been warned that there is expected to be serious delays across the country. While the Transport Workers Union say that workers are striking due to the fact that they “want the same pay and conditions for labour hire as employees, caps on the use of outside hire, and commitments to allocate work to employees before contracting out”, StarTrack have released a statement saying that the company “remains committed to delivering for all our customers” and that “while contingency plans are in place to minimise the impact of this industrial action, deliveries for customers may be impacted”.
