At the moment in Melbourne the EBA is up for negotiation with things turning a touch south in the last couple of weeks.
Thursday there will be a second 4hr stopwork between 10AM and 2PM for Yarra trams over pay and conditions.

This follows the first one a couple of Thursdays back.
Metro had thier first one last Friday with train drivers going out between 2AM and 6AM and everyone else going out between 10AM and 2PM.
Drivers went out again on Saturday Morning between 2AM and 6AM.
It was the first major train and tram stoppage since 1997.
Given that Metro and Yarra Trams and the union are poles apart at the moment. so it's going to drag on a bit.

The one two weeks ago messed my few days in Melbourne up - even after it was supposed to finish, I waited over an hour for the first St Kilda bound 96 to arrive in the CBD (on a day when it didn't stop raining!)
