Brisbane bus drivers plan to strike from 4am to 6am on Thursday February 20 as a part of their ongoing pay dispute with the Brisbane City Council.

Rail Tram and Bus Union Secretary Tom Brown told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, “I’m happy to meet in the middle during negotiations.”

“The sticking point, the point of anger for our drivers, is that the pay rise is not being backdated.”

“It should have come through in October last year and they’re not offering to backdate it until then,” Mr. Brown said.
