WA prison officers may strike again WEST Australian prison officers have threatened to strike again if the state government doesn't make a better wage offer. Some 2000 members of the WA Prison Officers Union staged a snap 24-hour strike on Friday in a bid to secure a pay rise of 14 per cent over three years. The state government has offered nine per cent over the same period. The union is scheduled to meet with the Industrial Relations Commission at 10am (WST) on Tuesday. "We'll have not ruled out further industrial action if the government's offer has not changed," union secretary John Welch said. We've been asking for a fair go from government for months. It would end uncertainty for our members to finally have a respectful and reasonable offer on the table. Only skeleton staff worked at 13 public prisons across the state on Friday, manning the perimeters of the facilities, but not transporting prisoners to court. The action caused disruption in Perth's courts, with the trial of high-profile bikie Troy Mercanti one of many court cases having to be rescheduled.
