Dear members,
At 0001hrs on Thursday morning, RTBU members across the network will be walking off the job to further our demands for fair working conditions and a safe network.
Despite working hard through a once in a century pandemic, during this bargaining period we have been pushed to our limits by a NSW Government that is hell bent on taking us on.
At every turn we’ve faced them down, and so far, we have been victorious. So much so that we are close to securing what should be a good enterprise agreement with many improved conditions.
However, there are still sticking points yet to be resolved, and we need to use the most powerful tool in our arsenal to push this thing over the line.
Our remaining claims are:
• Alterations to the New Intercity Fleet
• Protection Officers and Infrastructure Classification Progression claims
• An industry allowance of $2.50 per hour for members performing cleaning duties
• Wages
Tomorrow night is an opportunity to come together and show solidarity, as well as flexing our industrial muscle and showing the Government that we won’t be moved by their bad faith tactics in the media and the Fair Work Commission.
Below is a list of locations where there will be events that members can attend to have a bite to eat and talk with each other about the current situation. Keep an eye out for the RTBU flags and posters.
