Public Service Announcement for the people of Wellington

[KKtrips]

Just thought you all may want to know if you live in Wellington and commute across town then do not bother trying to go to work on Thursday.

Trains are on strike from 2am on Thursday till 2am Friday. It WILL certainly be gridlocked from 5am till 8pm on Thursday so talk to your boss about working from home/just stay home and masturbate in every room.

There will be NO train replacement buses.

This public notice bought to you by the letters M and J  and the number 420.

Thanks for the heads up chief. Not good timing for the monthly meat. 

[Beaver]

Oh wow. Good to know. 

[igor]

Thursday has been cancelled this week. Please proceed in an orderly fashion directly from Wednesday to Friday.

[Beaver]

Any idea when it will go live/be announced? Want to be helpful and spread the word, but also no look like a dick if it doesn't eventuate haha

[KKtrips]

It is a definite and is live - RMTU gave official notice of it half an hour ago so cannot be undone as far as I am aware.

It is the RMTU's job to notify the media.

[KKtrips]

I don't think the news of it is embargoed or anything.

[Beaver]

Coolio. Cheers

CEA negotiations stuff - all the normal to-ing and fro-ing. But the union have walked away from the table and rejected every single claim the company has made while the company has accepted every claim (except one) that the union has made.
Although the only one that I care about is changing the wording from "you may be requested to work on public holidays" to "you may be required to work on public holidays"

We run services 7 days a week including public holidays so having to go to each staff member and ask them to work on public holidays is a nuisance.

Awww - miss you too. But I am not part of the union so Thursday is a normal day for me, and I am trying to get Christmas rosters out by Friday so will have to see how I go.
