What are the immediate consequences of the court security officers' strike in Western Australia, and what is its significance?

Hundreds of court security and custodial officers in Western Australia, employed by Ventia, staged an eight-hour strike on Friday due to a pay dispute. They claim to be paid up to 24% less than other court workers performing the same job, leading to high staff turnover and safety concerns. The strike, while initially planned to impact court proceedings, did not appear to cause disruptions.
