Lord Mayor priorities 'finding a fair balance' in pay dispute with bus drivers
Bus drivers in Brisbane have returned to work after taking industrial action early this morning as their pay dispute with the Brisbane City Council rages on.
The RTBU wants 9 per cent over 2 years, the Council is offering 7 per cent across the same period.
Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "Our wages bill in council makes up about a third of all of the entire council budget, so you have a significant increase in pay that flows onto rates."
"There's no other magic," Lord Mayor Schrinner said.
