Power workers in Australia staged a 24-hour strike against Western Power last week over issues that included the job responsibilities of contract workers.

The unionized workers, 600 power line crew and 100 maintenance men at power stations, are members of ICEM affiliate Communications, Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) in West Australia. Workers returned to their jobs at mid-week, but did not rule out further job action if the issues were not resolved.
