NSW: Unions claim power victory despite new sell-off moves

The unions are claiming victory in the electricity privatisation battle .. even though
the NSW government has announced it will push ahead with an amended sell-off.

Unions NSW secretary JOHN ROBERTSON says the fact the power generators will remain
in the state's hands is a win for workers and the community.

He says the state government must now outline what employment and price protections
would be put in place for workers and consumers if the retailers are sold.
