Sydney

Rail workers have pledged to immediately cease major industrial action that threatens to severely disrupt train services on New Year’s Eve if the state Labor government drops its legal case against them and offers free fares to commuters.

In a late-night peace offering to the government on Sunday, the Rail Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) said it would withdraw all industrial action apart from minor measures such as staff wearing union T-shirts while on the job.

They stay in support of drug dogs and strip searching though. Practices which directly lead to overdoses as people swallow their drugs in a panic.

Last year their refusal to allow pill testing killed people. Hopefully this year fewer families will have holes punched in them by ideological belligerence that sees their deaths as a fair price in pursuit of a goal that has never been achieved in any country anywhere in history.

"At the end of the day I can't say yes to the rail unions whilst at the same time say no to the nurses union and other unions reaching reasonable settlements over the course of 2024."

You can say yes to all those workers just like you said yes to the cops you knob.

They hunted us for sport, and if the laws change tomorrow they'll turn their guns and torture implements on us without hesitation.

But now they're marching in uniform because... why exactly? Their feelings get hurt if we don't slavishly worship them for the monopoly on violence we are forced to accept?
