Workers at a major parcel delivery service have voted to strike, potentially dealing another blow to Australians already waiting longer periods for their online shopping due to virus lockdowns.

The TWU says this makes up 70 per cent of the total workforce, but StarTrack says barely a third of the total workforce voted to strike.
