QUARANTINE NSW (SYDNEY)
The workers, who screen arriving passengers for biosecurity hazards and other prohibited
items, stopped work for four hours at six this morning as part of nation wide action.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF), which
employs the quarantine staff, says there have been no delays at the airport.
The strike follows similar two-hour stoppages at airports last week, which caused some
minor delays for travellers.
