Wellington bus strike: Courtenay Place update

From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 23 April 2021

One hundred Wellington bus drivers are on strike today after a breakdown in negotiations for a new collective employment contract. That means almost no buses for commuters across the city with people having to drive, walk or bike or work from home. Tensions went up a notch yesterday when their employer, NZ Bus, issued lockout notices to the striking drivers for an indefinite period. Reporter Harry Lock was on Courtenay Place.
