Summary
Queensland Rail has struck an in-principle deal with three unions covering 3,500 workers, offering an 8% wage rise over three years, plus a cost-of-living payment and back pay — a major win after months of chaos. But with three other unions still in talks, and entrenched positions slowing progress, full service recovery remains uncertain. Commuters in Brisbane are still facing packed trains and disrupted timetables, while a massive maintenance backlog persists. Though officials remain hopeful, the final agreement hinges on approvals and continued negotiations — and normal service isn’t expected anytime soon.
