Episode Details

Queensland Rail faces potential train disruptions tomorrow as union electricians plan protected industrial action, refusing to fix unplanned faults unless theres a safety risk. Negotiations for updated enterprise agreements have been ongoing since January, with unions pushing for claims like pet bereavement leave, birthday leave, a thirty-two hour work week, and more annual leave. Meanwhile, the Rail, Tram and Bus Union took low-impact action yesterday, targeting coal and mineral freight trains but sparing passengers. Planned track shutdowns from April third through April twenty-sixth for major upgrades, including Brisbanes Cross River Rail project, are also expected to cause headaches. Stapleton emphasizes that many union demands go beyond community standards.
