However, voters are not only angry at the RTBU for delays or cancellations to their services. While 26 per cent blame unions for industrial action, 33 per cent point the finger at the state government.by research company Resolve Strategic also reveals that 31 per cent of voters say they had been affected by strikes. The worst impact has been in metropolitan areas.
The government has tried to link NSW Labor to the industrial action through its association with the unions but the Resolve research suggests it is having little impact in voters’ minds. Labor’s primary vote has hit 43 per cent – a 10-point increase since the 2019 election, while the Coalition’s has slumped to just 30 per cent – a massive 12-point drop since the last election.
