Brisbane's ferry workers plan to go on strike for 24 hours during the upcoming Riverfire event, as reported by various sources. The industrial action comes after ongoing pay negotiations between the Maritime Union of Australia and RiverCity Ferries have stalled since intermittent strikes began on July 30.
The planned strike raises concerns about a repeat of the public transport disruptions experienced during last year's Riverfire event. Reports indicate that the strike could significantly affect public transport options for attendees of the event.
Similar reports suggest that the ongoing negotiations have not yielded progress, prompting the union to escalate their industrial action during the high-traffic event.
