Queensland bus drivers protest against unfair wages

Queensland bus drivers are being paid less in comparison to other Australian states by as much as ten dollars an hour.

This week, bus drivers across the Gold Coast went on strike in organised protest to show Australia they will not back down from securing their right to equal pay rates.

More strikes will follow into 2023 to allow changes to happen, standing up for the unfair conditions faced by Queensland bus drivers.
