Sydney ferry strike disrupts commuters over pay dispute
Sydney ferry workers staged a five-hour strike over a pay dispute, demanding a 24 per cent wage rise over four years while ferry operator Transdev has offered 4.3 per cent per annum. The industrial action, the first in 12 years, disrupted morning commuters from 9am until 2pm, with affected passengers receiving free trips home. Union representatives warn further strikes may occur if their demands for a 5 per cent pay rise and guaranteed annual increases are not met.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
