Waiting for answers no holiday as drivers put on their Hawaiian shirts

In an act of frustration, Newcastle Bus drivers have refused to wear their uniforms and instead chose to wear brightly coloured Hawaiian shirts to protest the lack of information provided by TfNSW about just what the sell off of services will mean for workers.

Drivers are frustrated that the Transport Minister has provided no details around job protections for workers, and other key areas vital to ensuring that drivers feel they are being listened to by government.

With no answers, drivers have a right to be angry.

By refusing to wear their uniforms, drivers were able to bring public attention to the fact that TfNSW has refused to provide any more detail to drivers for more than two months, all while the sell off progresses behind closed doors.

The workers deserve more information, but the government is just not listening.
