A promised deed for changes to new intercity trains has not been enough to avert industrial action this week after the rail union dismissed the offer as a "stunt".
The union is scathing about the "eleventh-hour letter" containing the offer of a new deed after a weekend spent negotiating the stoushes that have caused widespread disruption for commuters all year.
Rail, Tram, and Bus Union (RTBU) NSW secretary Alex Claassens said "this latest stunt by the government doesn't add anything to the progression of the dispute".
