果冻传媒 Sydney Managing Director Arsene Durand-Raucher apologised for the inconvenience of this industrial action.
“The Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) wants tram drivers to reduce tram speeds to less than 10 kilometres an hour unless the State Government cut fares to 50垄 a trip and also ran trams 24/7,鈥 Mr Durand-Raucher said.
鈥淒riving trams at less than 10kmh poses real safety risks around driver fatigue and breaks, signaling, and road and pedestrian traffic disruptions particularly passing so slowly through intersections.
鈥淭his action has made demands about fares and hours of operations which we don鈥檛 control.
鈥淥ur pay offer was recently voted down by the RTBU which included an 18% wage increase over four years, 11 days of paid sick leave and 50 weeks of backpay.
鈥湽炒 has been attempting to meet with the RTBU all week, including this weekend, but unfortunately the union has been unable to sit down with us.
“We apologise for this disruption and thank passengers for their understanding.鈥
