Australian Council of Trade Union (ACTU) has said that they may take industrial action across the country if the businesses and the federal government do not make COVIDsafe working conditions a priority.

The ACTU released a statement following a meeting with Australian work unions on Jan. 17 saying that the unions would do everything they can to keep people safe and act to slow the spread of the latest Omicron wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
