Make alternative travel arrangement. I am not sure how buses will cater for someone who lives in Penrith and works in CBD. Probably they will be spending half a day in bus.
Adding few poll options to see what people are planning to do.
You think so? Tbh I think 6% increase is too much. They already has $100k salary ffs
Fk it. Gonna put in annual leave.
Is union fees 1%?
Tbh I think 6% increase is too much.
Why? It barely covers 2 years of inflation reducing the money they're paid.

The future looks bright for passages.

Well considering they're asking for 6% a year for the next four years, I reckon they'll pretty much have inflation covered.
@Seraphin7:
24% pay increase over four years? That's a bit rich.
What are they doing to increase their performance over four year?
@whooah1979: That's right! Let that sink in for everyone out there doing it tough in business. A pay rise of 24% over four years.
What are they doing to increase performance? Mate, this is unionised labour with government effectively as the only customer.
Wow that is high but yeah I agree. Then again, I probably wouldn't want a minimum wage worker responsible for the lives of a few hundred people.
…With this level of salary/increases maybe I should change jobs….
Another poll option could be work from home
i will use this comment as the poll option. +1
Is there a limit of what the unions/workers can demand? If not why didn’t they go out with 20% then negotiate down?
Maybe OzBargain should unionise too.
Just have a day where we protest against eBay sales and the price jacking as soon as the sale starts.
Demand that our Xiaomi products, Eneloops and SIM cards get discounted.
Work from home.
take the day off and have a really long weekend.
that's probably why they chose 29th as the day to strike.
Woohoo! 4 day weekend!
There should be "late for work" and "work from home" options.
and "spend the day on Ozbargain" option
i had "late for deal posted on ozb"
Oh please, strike or no strike the train still find a way to stuff up and make me late.
oh please. They'll come to an arrangement before then.
