NSW nurses and midwives have announced another state-wide strike over dangerous staffing levels and unsustainable workloads. The 24-hour action will take place next Thursday, September 1, following a majority vote of 94 per cent. 9News LATEST:
Rail, Tram and Bus Union secretary Alex Claassens said a document has been created to fix the New Intercity Fleet , the new trains with safety issues at the centre of the ongoing strike action, which the union should be happy with.
"I got a phone call late last night basically saying they think they have landed on a document we should be happy with," Claassens said. "The document is with Damien Tudehope for him to review and at some point later today I will apparently get a phone call and be dragged into an office and be presented with the NIF deed."
But even if the employee relations minister agrees to sign the deed to fix the NIF today, Claassens said there is a long approval process by the union before any of the strike action ends.Tudehope is set to hold a press conference at 3.30pm to address the union vs government negotiations.
