SA Prison Strike: Staff Demand Pay, Safety
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
South Australian corrections officers, along with other justice system workers, have been on strike since Monday, demanding better pay, increased staffing, and improved safety measures. The strike has led to court closures and a prison lockdown, affecting over two thousand inmates. The Public Service Association, representing the striking workers, argues that corrections officers have received minimal pay raises for six years and are pushing for more, especially for lower-paid staff. The situation is uncertain as union delegates meet with the Treasurer and striking staff decide whether to continue their action or reach an agreement with the government.
