MY 82-year-old husband has a very important eye operation this month and there is news of more train stoppages in August. We also need to go to Sydney the week before for tests on the eye. We have been waiting for this surgery for many months and now because of greedy, selfish unionists this operation could be in doubt. He has already had two torn hamstrings and three broken ribs from falls due to the eyesight.
The people of NSW who use public transport deserve better. It makes one wonder if the true reason behind these stoppages is political; that is, the downfall of the Liberal government. I do hope none of the strikers' family members have to go through what we retired pensioners, who are unable to drive to Sydney and rely on public transport, are experiencing. Let common sense prevail and stop punishing the people of NSW.
