New Zealand: Ongoing rail strike possible in Auckland through late June

Unionized rail workers could observe ongoing strike in Auckland, New Zealand, through late June. Rail service delays likely to continue.

Informational

Unionized rail workers could observe their ongoing strike in the city through late June to demand better working conditions. The Rail and Maritime Transport Union has indicated that the work stoppage has the potential to last one month. As of June 10, officials are operating rail services on a reduced timetable. Further related disruptions, including cancellations, are possible over the coming days. Commuters could experience additional delays as they opt for alternative modes of transportation.

Related protests may occur, especially near transportation hubs, government buildings, public squares, and thoroughfares. Such events will probably draw dozens of participants, and authorities could monitor any such gatherings as a precaution.

Confirm rail schedules in advance. Avoid all gatherings as a precaution. Depart the area at the first sign of any security disturbance. Heed all official advisories.
