NSW: Tens of thousands of workers impacted by horse flu -union=2

ACTU president SHARAN BURROW says unions are waiting for the 72-hour lockdown to expire
.. before assessing what impact it will have on the racing industry.

She says it's a well organised industry with lots of jobs .. and unions will want to
see what can be done to ensure job and income security through an uncertain period.

Ms BURROW says in Victoria .. in particular .. there's an air of nervousness ahead
of the spring carnival.

But people in New South Wales and Queensland are also very anxious .. as nobody knows
whether it will be weeks or months before they're back at work.
