The WA construction industry has ground to a halt today after thousands of traffic controllers mysteriously called in sick on St Paddy’s Day.
It is estimated that 90% of traffic controllers texted their agencies this morning to tell them that they had crook guts and would be unable to fulfil their primary roles of standing on the road while holding a stop sign and vaping.
It has left industry heavyweights wondering if they had over relied on Irish tourists to fill these roles. With one telling The Times,
“Surely they aren’t all Irish? Do any Aussies actually work anymore? I can tell you we are in quite a pickle today”
To get to the bottom of the shortage, we headed to a popular Irish pub in the City to ask around. Siobhan told The Times,
“It’s grand, it’s like a work party here! I’ve stood by roadworks with just about every girl in here. That’s what you get for casualisation of the work force!”
She raises a good point. Nevertheless, if anyone is looking for some quick work, get in touch with just about any traffic control agency from Albany to Derby.
