u/SpecialMobile6174 has been giving updates on the Brisbane subreddit all week. Supposedly this afternoon’s strike called off last night.

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. ---

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. ---
