Brinks dispute ends after sides agree security deal

A LONG-RUNNING dispute at a security transit company, which has left hundreds of cash machines empty across the east coast, finally ended yesterday.

The five-week stand-off between management and unions at Brinks Allied was resolved after both sides agreed on the introduction of new security and safety systems.

The measures are designed to remove access to cash from Brinks security transport crews to deter the spiralling number of armed attacks by criminal gangs.
