NSW: Bus driver bonus unjustified - Scully
New South Wales Transport Minister CARL SCULLY says an Olympic-style bonus for busdrivers to cope with the threat of terrorism during next year's rugby World Cup is unjustified.
The push by the Transport Workers Union would see bus and coach drivers receive upto $4 an hour extra during the Cup, which begins next October.
The TWU says the increase is to compensate drivers for the pressure and stress associatedwith the terrorist threat.
Mr SCULLY has told ABC radio that security is obviously a very important issue andthere'll be heightened awareness.
But at this stage he says he doesn't think a pay rise is justified.
Drivers during the Olympics were compensated with a $2 an hour bonus for coping withthe stress of large crowds.
