Sydney commuters have won a reprieve, with rail unions now banned from taking industrial action until July 1.

On Wednesday, the Fair Work Commission decided to hold off on industrial action in the ongoing pay dispute between the Rail, Tram and Bus Union and the New South Wales government.

The ongoing argument has caused big problems for Sydney's transport system, with the RTBU and the government strongly disagreeing over the RTBU's demand for a 32 per cent pay increase and a $4,500 sign-on bonus for its workers.
