Unions are good at picking ‘emotional points’ in the calendar to exert the most pressure

Nationals Senator Bridget McKenzie says the unions are very good at picking “emotional points” in the calendar to exert the most pressure. Rail unions in NSW are ramping up their demands of the state government while threatening to significantly disrupt train services over New Year’s Eve. The Rail, Tram and Bus Union are seeking a 32 per cent pay increase for workers over the next four years, which the Minns government is refusing to budge on.
