From the ABC: The NSW government and combined rail unions are presenting their cases to the Fair Work Commission over ongoing industrial action related to a new enterprise bargaining agreement for Sydney Trains employees.

The unions are seeking improved pay and working conditions, including a reduction in the work week and cashing out sick leave, while the government’s latest offer is 15% over four years.

If the Fair Work Commission finds that the unions’ actions threaten public safety or the economy, it may suspend the industrial action, but if the government loses, the unions could resume their work bans, leading to further train delays.
