Rail worker's union loses patience with 'Australian bully boys' Stuff.co.nz, New Zealand
The Rail & Maritime Transport Union says it has lost patience with the 'Australian bully boys' who bought Tranz Rail, and with Finance Minister Michael Cullen's dealings with them.
On Wednesday, Dr Cullen lambasted Toll Holdings for dragging its feet on implementing an agreement for the Government to buy back the railway network as a June 30 deadline looms.
The attack came at the same time as a hardening of the union attitude to the company that bought 84.2 per cent of Tranz Rail last year, recently changing the name of the company to Toll NZ.
Union general secretary Wayne Butson, who welcomed the Australians on arrival as less ideological than Tranz Rail's old management, said: 'I'm sick to the back teeth with the absolute arrogance of Toll NZ.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:16 AM :: reference link ::
