Ferry workers represented by a union are set to strike during peak-hour services on Friday, disrupting travel on CityCat routes. Across multiple reports, the union alleges that CityCat operators deny workers pay rises despite the company posting profits. The union also claims that management and board members receive bonuses.
The planned strike is framed by the union as a response to ongoing pay and employment concerns, with workers taking industrial action specifically during the busiest commuting period. The reports describe the dispute as part of broader negotiations between the union and CityCat operators, with the union’s position focused on what it says is an imbalance between corporate financial performance and worker pay.
While the union’s accusations are central to the coverage, the articles also note that the action is timed for Friday peak hours, indicating an operational impact on commuters. No alternative service arrangements are detailed in the provided summaries, and the reports focus on the workers’ intention to strike and the reasons given by the union.
