(Cityrail) Sydney rail strike threat August 04, 2010

[BradMilne101]

A government dept run by the unions which holds the government to ransom by threatening strikes which would cripple the economy. Corruption is widespread, the staff are overpayed and cost to the taxpayer is criminal. One day a state government with balls will privatise this joke and good riddens to you bastards when that happens.

The problem is tons and tons of middle management that labor government allows. Everyday there's a new bureaucratic department in the railways, 1995 we had 8 inspectors, we now have 200. The best example is that station staff reduced by 40%, this year 5 new "customer service managers" positions paid over 130k a year. More managers, to manage less people? Train crew haven't had a pay rise in 6 years, we have a right to get one as you do when inflation occurs.
