Millions of Sydney shuttle trains face a travel nightmare while the two sides of the industrial war admit that they have no idea what will happen – while the mysteries to the drivers emerge

Millions of commuters are preparing for a nightmare start for the work week while the busiest rail network in Australia is plunged into chaos and confusion.

Sydneysiders was warned of expecting cancellations and delays today after the Rail, the Tram and the Union bus won its last case against the Southern New Wales Government at Fair Work Commission on Sunday.

The boss of the rail union urged shuttles to make alternative travel arrangements or to work at home, saying that Monday delays could be worse than Friday when train drivers called the patients or do not appear at work in mass in an apparent industrial action.

“Tomorrow may well be good, but tomorrow could be worse than Friday,” warned the secretary of Rail, Tram and Bus Union Toby Warnes on Sunday.

However, the seriousness of the disturbances is not known as long as the trains are starting to run this morning with Sydney trains admitting that the impact would be “unpredictable”.

Rail employees also received mixed messages about the opportunity to present themselves or not for work.

Text messages sent to rail workers on Sunday evening “strongly encourages members to present themselves to work as usual and not to apply the Go-Slow” in a “calculated decision” to “highlight the incompetence of the government” more ” , there Daily telegraph reported.

“By controlling the moment and the intensity of our actions, we fork the government in a difficult position,” said the text.

However, other texts have urged workers who were not registered to refuse the changes offered to them.

“Please do not accept a day. This undermines the sacrifice of those who participate, ”says the message.

“You don’t have to work tomorrow if you are a member of the union. You will miss the salary of the day.

“You don’t have to call in advance and tell anyone you can’t … but please if you call in advance, wait for your sign at the time when it is near him.

Sydney Trains is preparing for the worst, urging commuters to make alternative arrangements, including students who go to school.

“Avoid non -essential travel and allow additional journey time as long delays and cancellations are expected due to industrial action,” said the last alert on Sunday evening.

“The nature of this impact is very unpredictable and we will not have clarity on the impacts before morning.

“Consider using other forms of public transport and plan in advance tomorrow morning before traveling.

“Disturbances should continue during the week.”

Friday, 95.3% of the train services were canceled or delayed after half of the train drivers and the guards did not come to work.

More than 570 drivers did not show up at work that day, which led to mass cancellations and an hour after delays.

The state government, led by Prime Minister Chris Minns, was trying to block additional industrial action after the ravages caused by trains that do not work or are not very delayed on Friday.

The Southern New Waler Government argued that mass absences had been coordinated by the union, pointing messages sent by certain RBTU delegates, one who said to the “F *** drivers the network ”.

But the FWC noted that union officials had “left the decision to attend … or not to attend, the employees themselves”.

The decision occurred while the union continued its long battle with the government government on an increase in the 32%remuneration demand.

The CEO of Sydney Trains, Matt Longland, warned the commuters to take into account the potential of chaos in their travel plans.

“We will continue to see delays and unpredictable cancellations day by day, depending on the amount of the absent train crew,” he said.

“Plan in advance, think of other modes of transport if you need to travel in any Sydney on Monday.”

Mr. Longland said that around 500 services had been delayed or canceled on Saturday, which was an improvement in mass cancellations on Friday.

On Sunday, around 260 train crew members who were planned would have been during service.

The interim minister of the NSW Transport, John Graham, said that the government would again file a request from the FWC on Wednesday.

Negotiations between the union and the state government broke out for a request for a connection bonus of $ 4,500 for each rail worker.

“We cannot sign a white check to settle this dispute,” said Graham. “We have to settle this fairly.

“The government will endeavor to protect consumers, we are ready to return to the Commission.”

Graham, who took over the post less than two weeks ago after his predecessor Jo Haylen resigned for a spending scandal, said the government hoped to stop industrial action in a few days.

He said negotiations have been lasting for 10 months. The government’s point of view is time to stop this industrial action (due) to the impact it has on commuters and businesses.

“ This dispute over time concerns a range of things – at some point, it was a question of directing trains 24 hours a day, at another time, it was free prices, now it is a bonus of around $ 4,500.

“We cannot afford bells and whistles here … There is no white check. We cannot sign a white check to adjust this dispute.

“If we did, there would be another request and in six months, we would be back here.”

NSW transport secretary Josh Murray said there was no guarantee that the rail network does not stop on Monday.

“We would like to apologize to Sydney commuters,” he said.

“Sunday evening can be quite difficult, without thinking about uncertainty about how you are going to work and how long it will take.”

The secretary of the state of RBTU, Toby Warnes, did not offer any comfort to those who wonder how they go to work on Monday, saying that the train network could be a “situation similar to Friday”, which The union blamed the “lockout opinion”.

“We do not know if these 5,000 lockout opinions will remain in place,” he said.

“The nature of these lockout opinions indicates that if you come to work and find yourself slowly, which is our initial ban, you will lose a whole day.

“So our members are in a really difficult position at the moment, choosing between potentially working for a free day or not coming to work at all … We saw Friday 600 people made this last choice.”

Warnes said the prospects of the coming week were “unpredictable”.
