NSW government loses its court battle to stop train drivers from striking

Sydney commuters will be plunged into chaos once again as the NSW government loses its court battle to stop train drivers from striking.

Thousands of rail workers will take part in industrial action on Wednesday following the interim decision by the Fair Work Commission on Tuesday.

The NSW government on Monday launched legal action in hopes it would put a stop to protests that disrupted the public transport network for much of last week.

Negotiations with the The Rail Tram and Bus Union were left unresolved over the weekend with the state’s bid to stop industrial action rejected on Tuesday.

Both parties will return to Fair Work on Thursday for a full hearing as commuters brace for another day of disruption amid wet and wild weather conditions.

More to come.
