Speed camera operators to strike over unfair pay claims

Mobile speed cameras across Victoria will be out of action for two days over the New Year's Eve period. Workers are taking industrial action over a pay dispute and concerns for operator safety. Mobile speed camera operators will be walking off the job on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in protest over what they say is unfair pay. An increase of $1.70 per hour was offered to workers after a week of strike action, which was rejected. Unions say they have no other option but to continue the strike, which is also driven by a spate of physical attacks against operators.
