Mike Bull from the Australian Manufacturer Worker’s Union told the radio station it was a industry crucial to all of us.
‘There’ll be a 24-hour strike on Friday and we’ll take it from there and see what happens,’ Mr Bull said.
The workers will begin the action from Wednesday and will strike completely on Friday.
A new range of Australian notes and a influx of international clients have made the work in high demand.
