Comments from Kaylee Clark, manager of finance and performance at Clarks Logan City Bus Service

“Clarks is disappointed by this action. We are a family company that highly values our employees and has never been the target of industrial action since we commenced in 1976, however this matter is out of our control.”

“We understand that this will inconvenience many of our valued customers, and assure you that Clarks is committed to working with our employees, the union, and the Fair Work Commission to reach an agreement that prevents future action.”

“We sincerely thank our customers and the Logan community for their understanding.”
