The NSW Business Chamber estimates that a proposed strike by Sydney train drivers on 29 January would cost the state economy about $A100m. The heads of Unions NSW and the Rail, Tram & Bus Union will hold talks with officials from Sydney Trains and Transport for NSW on 18 January, in a bid to avert industrial action. The State Government is offering a pay rise of 2.5 per cent, but Unions NSW secretary Mark Morey says recent productivity gains provide scope for a higher wage increase.
