Unions won't rule out mass strike

Following a meeting of the UnionsWA executive today, secretary Dave Robinson said it would not act immediately on the plan for a statewide strike put forward by the Australian Workers Union (AWU).

But Mr Robinson said the possibility of co-ordinated industrial action designed to stop work in the state was still open.

"Everything is in the mix at this point in time, but we are not going to step out ahead of informing and talking with our members in unions and the community," he said.

"That is a matter for them to talk back with us about. We have got the entire spectrum of activity still open to us."
