Rail workers have pledged to immediately cease major industrial action that threatens to severely disrupt train services on New Year’s Eve if the state Labor government drops its legal case against them and offers free fares to commuters.
In a late-night peace offering to the government on Sunday, the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) said it would withdraw all industrial action apart from minor measures such as staff wearing union T-shirts while on the job.
How do Labor party members and supporters stomach this shit.
They want an 8% pay rise every year for 4 years? That’s absurd
That’s the negotiating position, what they accept will be less.
Also every year pay has been below CPI is a pay cut, which needs to be made up for.
