NSW: Minister denies stopping union members to vote on strike

New South Wales Transport Minister DAVID CAMPBELL has denied a union claim .. delegates
had been stopped from attending a meeting to vote on a bus driver strike in Sydney and
Newcastle tomorrow.

Rail Tram and Bus Union spokesman RAUL BAONZA says the State Transit Authority refused
to let union members attend a meeting tonight to decide on the strike action.

The strike will now go ahead despite the state's Industrial Relations Commission's
recommendation against it .. and Premier KRISTINA KENEALLY's plea to the union to call
off the action.
