Victorian Chamber comment on recurring stoppages in Melbourne’s train and tram system

11 September 2015

Recurring stoppages in Melbourne’s train and tram system due to union strikes continue to cause significant disruption to Victoria’s transport network

The delays and associated increased congestion cost Victorian business time and money through interruptions to workers commuting to their workplaces and moving around Melbourne, as well as to visitors and shoppers getting to their destinations.

This is a disgraceful attempt at a cash grab by holding the travelling public and transport operators to ransom. Victorian public transport workers are well paid against any objective standard and our fear is that any increase in operating costs as a result of high salaries and overly generous conditions will ultimately be passed on to the public.

Victorian business calls for a swift end to these disputes so there is no further disruption to the transport network and the people of Melbourne.
