The NSW government has won its battle to stop a state-wide 24-hour train strike from going ahead on Monday.
The Fair Work Commission’s senior deputy president Jonathan Hamberger on Thursday accepted its application to suspend the protected industrial action – including a ban on overtime work for six weeks.
More than 9,000 rail workers had planned to stop work from midnight Monday over a dispute with management about pay and conditions, which would have forced the closure of all train stations and cancellation of all services in Sydney and across NSW.
The Sydney train strike scheduled for Monday has been delayed for six weeks
