The Rail, Tram and Bus Union and NSW Government are locked in a stalemate over wages and safety issues.
Sydney commuters are set to be affected by a series of rail strikes this month as tensions between the rail union and the NSW government continue to rise.
On August 7, transport officers will refuse to give out fines. On August 10, a six-hour strike will take place on Sydney’s southern line, as well as Bondi Junction.On August 17, a strike will take place on the inner west and regional lines with strikes on August 23 and 25 yet to be defined. The union’s NSW secretary Alex Claassens said the sporadic strikes would occur in one area at a time, meaning trains could continue to run in most areas.
“This is our only way of making sure that the safety changes that need to be made will actually be made.
