The New South Wales premier says the government has failed to strike a deal with rail unions after two weeks of intense pay negotiations, and has sought a court injunction to stop planned industrial action.
The New South Wales (NSW) government is seeking a court injunction to halt planned industrial action by rail workers following the breakdown of pay negotiations with unions. The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) had scheduled a 24-hour strike for Thursday, which would disrupt train services across Sydney and regional NSW. The government's move to the Supreme Court aims to prevent this action, arguing that it would cause significant inconvenience to the public. The dispute centers around wage increases, with the union pushing for a 7% annual pay rise, while the government has offered a 4% increase along with a $1,000 signing bonus. This standoff has led to increased tensions, with the union accusing the government of not negotiating in good faith.
