Sydney New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Risk Due to Train Workers’ Industrial Action
The iconic Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks may be canceled due to potential industrial action by train workers, according to New South Wales Police Commissioner Karen Webb. With up to 250,000 attendees expected, concerns grow over public safety if transportation options are limited. Premier Chris Minns has dismissed union demands for significant pay increases, while the union’s secretary, Toby Warnes, claims the government is misrepresenting the situation. A hearing regarding the pay dispute is set for next week.
