An energy shortage in Western Australia is now causing many to lose their jobs.
A recent explosion at the state’s main gas supply plant has caused the economy to suffer. As a result companies are struggling to pay their workers.
With profits down, employers are having to consider doing away with many jobs in Western Australia. According to UnionsWA Secretary Dave Robinson, many businesses are now telling significant portions of their staffs to go ahead and take annual leave due to the fact that they can not afford to compensate them for their work.
