A BRISBANE train strike planned for Wednesday has been called off after a sitting of the Industrial Relations Commission today.
The Rail, Tram and Bus Union (RTBU) threatened last week to strike over an incident in which a guard was assaulted by a co-worker at Nambour station in December last year.
The assailant was dismissed from his job but the victim was threatened with the same punishment.
The union was concerned workers could be sacked for trying to defend themselves, under a code of conduct introduced recently.
RTBU state secretary Owen Doogan said the union and Queensland Rail today had reached a mutual agreement, but part of that agreement was that its details remained confidential.
"I can only say we came to an agreement that we and Queensland Rail are both satisfied with," Mr Doogan said.
