Qld: Plumbers join electricians off the job
Plumbers on around 30 Brisbane building sites have walked off the job, joining electriciansin a dispute over wages and conditions.
The action threatens to cripple the construction industry, including the completionof Brisbane's Suncorp football stadium.
The state government is racing to have the facility finished in time to host its firstinterstate match on June 1.
The plumbers' union secretary JORGEN GULLESTRUP says the strike is over pay and family-friendlywork conditions.
He says the strike will be followed by stop work meetings around the state and couldlink in with a 10 day stoppage by electricians for later this month.
The Builders Labourers Federation is also scheduled to begin an industrial campaignover pay on February 26.
