  People could be stranded in Sydney on New Year's Eve as the Rail, Tram and Bus Union votes to strike. 75 per cent of members voted to commit to industrial action from December 28, as they seek a better pay deal.

The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) in Sydney has voted to strike on New Year's Eve, potentially disrupting transport services during the city's major fireworks event. The strike action stems from ongoing disputes over pay and working conditions, with union members rejecting a proposed 16.5% pay increase over four years, deeming it insufficient. The RTBU is pushing for better wages and conditions, highlighting the significant role transport workers play, especially during high-profile events like New Year's Eve. The strike could affect train, bus, and light rail services, although the union has not specified the exact nature of the industrial action. Sydney Trains has expressed disappointment over the decision, emphasizing the impact on the public and the event's logistics. Negotiations are ongoing, with the possibility of further disruptions if an agreement isn't reached.
