Battlefield Brisbane - bus strikes hit the Sunshine State

Wednesday, 9 August 2017 - 8:30am to 9:00am

In addition to a weekly wrap of union news, this week we head to Brisbane where the industrial dispute at the City Council continues to rage. With more unions beginning action, we speak with the QLD RTBU about the strikes and the underlying issues that pushed bus drivers to strike.

We also speak with the ASU's Leon Wiergard about another example of an employer trying to teminate an enterprise agreement. This time the employer is using the NDIS as a smokescreen to attempt to wipe away conditions from workers who are already amongst the lowest paid in the country.

The petition referred to in the show can be found here.
