2008 Go Wellington dispute

The 2008 Go Wellington dispute is an industrial dispute taking place between the Go Wellington bus company and drivers represented by the Wellington Tramways Union. On September 24 drivers planned to strike between 7.30am and 8.30am, the middle of the morning rush-hour. The dispute was escalated when the company moved to lock out its drivers, taking the company's 222 buses off the road the following day.

Union secretary Kevin O'Sullivan told the "New Zealand Herald" that the unions push for higher wages would continue.
