Who is to blame for the train mess? Have your say below

TODAY’S rail chaos is the result of a union refusal to give up ancient job conditions, including allowing train drivers to work just three hours but be paid for a full day.
The Herald Sun can reveal taxpayers will foot the $100 million pay offer now being rejected by the union.
Metro has offered a 17 per cent rise over four years, including a one-off 3 per cent payment to ensure the successful rollout of the State Government’s 24-hour transport plan.
But the Rail Tram and Bus Union refuses to surrender “steam train era” conditions that stop drivers riding more than 200km a day and driving the same line twice in a shift.
MELBOURNE SET FOR ALL-DAY GRIDLOCK

Internal Metro documents, seen by the Herald Sun, show that an average driver, who with penalties and allowances is paid $140,000, drives 124km in 3.58 hours and is able to go home, but is still paid for an eight-hour shift

That is obsence money you would think the Governments would have invested in driverless trains by now but alas Labor aka Unions are in power in Victoria so they get what they deserve. Australia needs more non union workers... I bet you could better workers for almost half that money on a 457 visa.
