Newcastle公交车司机因薪酬、安全和条件而罢工, Newcastle bus drivers strike over pay, safety, and conditions, rejecting a proposed deal.

Newcastle公共汽车司机因工资、安全和工作条件等原因24小时罢工, Newcastle bus drivers are on a 24-hour strike over pay, safety, and working conditions, refusing to run services if the prior one is more than six minutes late. 铁路、有轨电车和公交工会表示，这一行动是更广泛“混乱日历”的一部分，促使Keolis Downer Hunter（KDH）改善私人运营的条件。 The Rail, Tram and Bus Union says the action, part of a broader "Calendar of Chaos," pressures Keolis Downer Hunter (KDH) to improve conditions under private operation. KDH提出4年交易,多数司机加薪15.5%,受训人员加薪8%,可能达到每小时40美元,加上欠薪和条件不变。 KDH offered a four-year deal with a 15.5% pay rise for most drivers and an additional 8% for trainees, potentially reaching $40 per hour, plus back pay and unchanged conditions. 该工会声称该提议只符合政府的最低要求,批评KDH拖延会谈,并警告不要因参加罢工而扣除工资。 The union claims the offer only meets government minimums, criticizes KDH for delaying talks, and warns against pay deductions for strike participation. KDH说,它在24次谈判之后做出了公平提议,尊重工人的权利,并将依法向雇员支付工资,敦促通过投票解决纠纷。 KDH says it made a fair offer after 24 negotiations, respects workers’ rights, and will pay employees as required by law, urging a vote to resolve the dispute.
