Industrial action on Sydney’s rail network is back on the table after union members voted overwhelmingly to continue their campaign.
Sydney New Year’s Eve plans could be thrown into jeopardy after Rail, Tram & Bus Union members overwhelmingly voted for another round of industrial action from December 28.
A RTBU source told this masthead on Monday that members had voted by an overwhelming margin to continue their campaign. The protected industrial action is near identical to the union’s previous activity, which included train cancellations, delays and skipped stops. In court, the RTBU had sought to reinstate on Monday a limit on the distance each driver or guard could travel each day if a wages deal could not be landed.
“From our perspective, everything was heading in the right direction, but unfortunately all the good work has now been blown up,” RTBU NSW secretary Toby Warnes said.
