Sydney train network to shut down for 4 days amid pay dispute

Sydney, Nov 19 (UNI) Sydney's trains will completely shut down for four days from Thursday as the network's employees are set to go on strike amid a pay dispute with the state government, the government of Australia's state of New South Wales (NSW) said on Tuesday.
The authorities warned that there will be major disruptions for millions of commuters across Sydney between Thursday and Sunday after last-minute negotiations with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) to avoid strike action failed.
"Unfortunately, at this stage, the information before us indicates that those services will not be operating between Thursday and Sunday this week," NSW Transport Minister Jo Haylen told reporters. "We need to be very clear here: this will cause major disruption to the millions of people that rely on these services."
