Wellington bus shutdown could extend after NZ Bus locks out striking drivers, transport minister urges company to withdraw lockout

Joel MacManus/Stuff Wellington bus drivers voted for a 24-hour strike on Friday – but the shutdown could now last weeks. “A big Aussie venture capital company is trying to bludgeon a vulnerable workforce into submission with an indefinite lockout. ROSA WOODS/STUFF Wellington bus drivers campaigned for a Living Wage increase on Cuba St in 2020.
