NRMA roadside assistance staff take industrial action for the first time in 23 years, according to reports in multiple states. The NRMA says not all patrols will participate in the strike and that some services are expected to continue. The organisation also reports it has contingency arrangements in place to reduce disruption for motorists who require roadside help during the period of industrial action. The coverage across outlets is consistent that the strike represents a rare work stoppage for the company’s roadside assistance workforce, with the group framing it as the first such action in more than two decades. While the reports note the likelihood of partial service coverage, they also indicate motorists may experience delays or limited availability depending on which patrols take part. Details on the timing and scope of participating patrols are not described in the provided excerpts, but all sources reference the NRMA’s preparation steps and the intention to minimise impact on customers.
