We’ve been made aware of potential industrial action between Brisbane City Council bus drivers and their employers between 4pm and 6pm on Friday 28 February .
u/SpecialMobile6174 has been giving updates on the Brisbane subreddit all week. Supposedly this afternoon’s strike called off last night.

After a few more disruptions and a few more rattled cages, it seems BCC was unwilling to let the whole city go to hell on a Friday afternoon.
As we stand, a deal has been reached in the commission that has satisfied enough requirements for the strike action to be withdrawn.
All buses will maintain their normal duties all day tomorrow.
It is almost a done deal. There’s a few administrative things to sort out at this point in time, but as far as public interruptions and discomfort goes, there will be no further actions taken on Friday, and the one action there was has been removed.

My bus driver yesterday arvo was wearing a Slipknot shirt. Rock on.
It’s been called off hasn’t it, as the union has accepted a pay agreement of 7.35% over two years. So about $5,100 a year if you are on 70,000 or above.
