Australia: Customs strike action
27th October 2011 Australia's Customs and Border Protection employees will take part in industrial action at international airports on Thursday 27 October."This will have an impact on our operations and could mean delays at international airports for people travelling to or from Australia," Customs and Border Protection Acting Deputy CEO Jan Dorrington said.
