The geeks are revolting!

If you’re in Syndey, Australia, and you couldn’t pay for your breakfast burrito with a debit card this morning, or your ATM was acting all funny, blame the geeks: they’re mad as hell, and they’re not gonna take it anymore:

So says the Sydney Morning Herald:

Computer technicans are threatening chaos at fast-food outlets, supermarkets, banks and airports unless they get a pay rise.

More than 100 staff from NCR - a company responsible for repairing computer breakdowns at KFC outlets, Aldi supermarkets and Sydney Airport's baggage handling systems - are planning to to walk off the job on Monday morning.

"In terms of industrial action in the IT industry this is easily the most significant one we've had in Australia," said Australian Services Union secretary Sally McManus.

You go, geeks. Make sure everyone knows how vital your services are.
