Australian workers across multiple sectors held strikes across the country on Friday to speak up against state government vaccination mandates in what participants say is an effort to “Reclaim the Line.”

Workers gathered in almost two dozen regions across the country. Participants wore white shirts on which they wrote #ReclaimTheLine on the front and their profession and years of service on the back.
