Sydney train drivers prepare for industrial action, rejecting a 15% pay raise offer over four years.

Train drivers in Sydney are set to proceed with industrial action despite a government offer of a 15% pay increase over four years. The union demands higher annual wage increases and views the offer as insufficient. The action includes reducing speed limits and banning some contractor work, which Sydney Trains warns will lead to service deterioration and increased cancellations. The government claims the offer is fair, citing productivity gains and a merger between two rail bodies. The union must respond by Thursday.
