The results are in…
KDH workers have delivered a convincing, undeniable, NO VOTE.
This is not just a rejection of a substandard offer – it is a victory for every worker who refused to be pushed, ignored, or disrespected.
Your message to KDH is unmistakable:
You reject their offer.
You reject their disrespect.
You reject their failure to listen.
And you will not back down.
This vote is a powerful reminder that when workers stand together, you are unstoppable.
Now it is KDH who must change route.
It is KDH who must return to the table with a new attitude, a new respect for the workforce, and a genuine commitment to bargaining.
It is KDH who must finally engage with your claims and work with the RTBU to build an offer worthy of your consideration.
The RTBU has always been ready to bargain.
We bargain across the transport network every day.
We win improvements for members every day.
We know what fair bargaining looks like, and this wasn’t it.
Your delegates have advised us that all members have demanded strike action for this Friday.
A full strike is planned from 4am, Friday, 12 December 2025 for 24 hours.
The action has been notified to demonstrate, once again, the strength of a united workforce that refuses to settle for substandard pay offers and failure to engage with your claims.
As a result of your no vote, you have pushed KDH into calling an urgent bargaining meeting for tomorrow. This is a direct reflection of the unity and determination you’ve shown. We will report on what they have to say shortly after the meeting.
This is your victory.
Your stand.
Your power.
Your Enterprise Agreement.
