Notice of Industrial Action - Wellington Tramways Union

Ubi concordia, ibi
victoria
The Tramways Union and Manufacturing and Construction Workers Union have given notice to City Line [Valley Flyer] Go Wellington and Mana Coach Services of a strike by Union members on Wednesday 28th April. The strike will take place to allow Union members to meet at 10.00am to discuss further industrial action with regard to collective agreement negotiations that have not started more than two months after all three companies received notice from the Unions requesting initiation of bargaining.
The Unions have sought a multi employer regional agreement covering most of Wellington’s public passenger transport drivers.
Kevin O’Sullivan, Secretary of the Wellington
branch of The NZ Tramways Union said “The employers [NZ
Bus & Mana Coach Services] have refused to agree to a
realistic process for negotiations, a process which has not
been an issue previously. The delaying tactics used by the
employers need to cease so that positive and constructive
negotiations for the drivers of Wellington’s buses can
commence.”
