SYDNEY - Workers at Australian state-owned submarine builder ASC Ltd began on Monday a campaign of strikes for higher wages that could disrupt maintenance for Australia's submarines even as it prepares to build the nuclear-powered AUKUS fleet.
Until that work begins later this decade, the shipyard is where lengthy maintenance is performed on the existing diesel-electric powered Collins-class fleet. "The Navy doesn't pay its sailors less money if they work in South Australia, so why should it be that way for those who build the ships," he said.The submarine HMAS Rankin is set to arrive at Osborne this month to begin two years of maintenance work, while HMAS Sheean is at the shipyard and almost finished with a similar cycle of repairs, Gordon said.
