Strike halts steelworks threatening defence output
Defence production will suffer as a steel strike disrupts coke gas and metal supplies at major plants. Up to 500 of 2500 Stewarts and Lloyds workers may be laid off, with wharf labourers at Bundaleri and Dubbo striking after steel was moved. Officials warn the cut in gas and steel could halt operations across mills and open hearths, while unions push for ship isolation to prevent asset movement. Canberra officials condemn the strike as a national crime, pledging tribunals but noting limited federal jurisdiction.
