| Strike | |
| Location: Sydney, New South Wales | |
| Sydney Rockchoppers went on strike over work conditions for two months. The strike ended with employers backing down on every issue, as no strikebreakers could be found. Union members were jailed during the dispute but had their fines paid by the Public Works Contractors Association of New South Wales and were released. |
