‘Talk is cheap’: Union Secretary wants government to ‘get their act together’ for free Friday travel
Secretary of the Rail, Tram and Bus Union Alex Claassens has said they will wait for a decision to come in writing in order to decide if they will agree to no more industrial action.
This comes after the union said it will use industrial action to ‘force’ the state government to offer free fares to commuters every Friday until June.
Alex Claasens told Jim Wilson the move was a fallout from the government’s decision to shut down the train network last month.
“The Minister could actually sit down at the table with us and agree to a whole bunch of stuff.
“The government needs to get their act together.”
