Thousands of drivers in the now fully privatised bus industry in New South Wales (NSW) have walked off the job in a 24-hour strike, causing major delays and confusion on the first day of the Easter school holidays.
The Rail, Tram, and Bus Union (RTBU) and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) are demanding that the NSW government take on a share of responsibility for implementing a set of industry standards to ensure a “safer and fairer” bus industry.
