Australia’s worst fears are confirmed after Albany’s election victory – as unions make big announcements, potentially struggling

- TWU threatens major strike
A union threatens to strike in airlines, supermarkets, logistics and waste disposal, which could lead the Australian economy to surrender.
The Transport Union has spent years reaching agreements with major companies including Qantas and Virgin Australia, and ended simultaneously in 2026.
Other companies at TWU attractions include Aldi, Amazon, Logistics Companies Linfox and Toll, building materials companies Boral and Waster Distaboser Company Chareaway.
TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine warned in response to questions from the Australian Daily Mail: “If wealthy transport customers refuse to stop our roads and shocking deaths at our airports, then TWU members are ready to take action to raise the standards”.
“The cost of doing nothing is too high: there are more deaths on our roads, more massacres, more devastating communities coming from the ruthless and deadly spirals of our transportation industry,” Kane said.
“Now are those wealthy transport customers coming to the table and working with us on good standards between transport to increase deadly pressure in road transport and reverse the shocking decline in safety and condition of our airports.
“The victory of the Labor government shows that Australia chooses to support a more equitable future, and the action of decent standards in transportation is to ensure that our paths and our sky work for the entire community rather than greedy executives.”
Mr. Kane declined to disclose the possibility of a strike or its impact on the economy.

Mr Kane said it was time to “catch the moment” after Labor’s “amazing re-election”
He noted that so far, 71 trucks have died in the roads involved in 2025 and 24 truck drivers have been killed.
Kaine last week described the strike as “the largest coordinated industrial movement in Australian transport history.”
The union’s requirements will include larger safety regulations for the airport, a new Safety Sky Commission and a review of the Civil Aviation Administration.
If these companies are not ready to come up with safer standards, “we are ready to close Australian transportation.” Australian.
From airports to highways, from distribution centers to city streets, no matter the need to prevent customers from stressing out killing workers, community members and good businesses.
“So it makes it clear to me: if there is no major movement to ensure we have good work in transportation and aviation, there will be disruptions, which will be important, it will be coordinated, it will work.”
Australian Industrial Group CEO Innis Willox slammed the threat, telling the national publication “meaningless boobs…we should expect predictable bullshit from radical union leaders who think they think of the divine right to cause chaos and pain”.
“These threats are clearly an omen of some union that has been drunk on the perceived power,” Mr Willox said.
“Because their laws have caused some unions to incite, you want the federal government to act quickly and tell them to look up. ”
