Presumably there are a few ChCh Tram drivers who are currently looking for alternative employment in a less shaky part of the world….
You have got to wonder if the public notification is just part of a fait accompli….
@greenwelly - quite likely actually, they usually have to advertise these jobs even if they already have the person and since it’s clearly the same company as the one in ChCh it’ll quite likely be one or two of their current drivers who can’t work there at the moment.
I don’t think it is realistic to expect staff to move from Christchurch to Auckland, just for a part-time job.
Maybe not, but a lot of people have moved away from ChCh and that may include the tram drivers.
