NSW train agreement reached

Millions of Sydney and NSW rail commuters will now be able to catch a train without being unfairly hit by union disruption, following an agreement between the NSW Government and the Combined Rail Unions.
 
For too long school kids, people going to work and small businesses have had their lives and businesses turned upside down by industrial action by the rail unions.
 
Today we have put the people of Sydney first.
 
We have now agreed to a Fair Work Commission process which will result in a vote by the Combined Rail Unions and an ongoing arbitration process on a small number of outstanding items.
 
While these Fair Work Commission processes are underway, the Combined Rail Unions have agreed not to undertake any industrial action.
