Youth detention workers in the state hold a strike, leaving minimal staffing at the three youth detention centres. Multiple outlets report that on Thursday morning nearly all workers leave their posts, resulting in skeleton crews remaining on duty. The reports consistently describe the impact as reduced coverage across all three centres, rather than a single facility. Details about how many staff remain, whether services continue under altered arrangements, and any changes to detainee routines are not specified in the provided excerpts. The reporting indicates the industrial action begins on Thursday morning and affects operations at the state’s youth detention system. The strike is presented as a coordinated work stoppage involving staff across the three centres, with the practical effect being limited staffing levels for the day. The outlets do not include specific reasons for the strike or provide statements from government or union representatives within the supplied text.
