Region 6 privatisation – important update
The NSW Transport Minister, Andrew Constance, has just announced Transit Systems as the new operator to run region 6.
The announcement completely ignores:
· 30,000+ signatures from commuters who are opposed to the privatisation of their buses in region 6;
· Town Hall protest meetings (Marrickville, Leichhardt & Pitt St);
· Rallies held at all impacted bus depots;
· Two Parliament debates.
· 30,000+ signatures from commuters who are opposed to the privatisation of their buses in region 6;
· Town Hall protest meetings (Marrickville, Leichhardt & Pitt St);
· Rallies held at all impacted bus depots;
· Two Parliament debates.
This Government is still going ahead with the privatisation of region 6 buses.
What does this mean for you, as a RTBU member?
