News: Rail, Tram and Bus Union calls for free travel on Fridays
NSW’s transport union is calling for free travel once a week for commuters as compensation for the sudden shutdown of the rail network last month.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) NSW has asked state Premier Dominic Perrottet to let commuters ride free every Friday until June, after they were left stranded on February 21.
In a statement released on Monday ahead of a planned press conference on Tuesday, the union claimed the government had not made any new offers to resolve workers’ claims.
