Labor and RTBU continue to lock horns on pay concerns

The article from MSN discusses the ongoing dispute between the Labor government and the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) regarding pay concerns for rail workers.

Meanwhile, the government insists that their offers are fair and within budget constraints, highlighting the need for fiscal responsibility. This standoff has implications for public transport services, with potential disruptions looming if an agreement isn't reached soon.
