Sydney & NSW Trains Member – EA Tour – Train Crew Protected Industrial Action

Mar 18, 2022News

Bulletin No. 3.22

On Thursday 17 March 2022, RTBU Officials meet with the Transport Minister, the Employee Relations Minister, and the Transport Secretary regarding the upcoming period of Protected Industrial Action.

At this meeting, the Ministers put to the RTBU a proposition that we undertook to take to our Members and Delegates.

Essentially, the NSW Government is seeking a lifting of current Protected Actions and a commitment to not notify of additional actions for a period of 6 weeks in return for agreement on the following Union Claims.

•  CRU claim 14.5.1a: WOBOD payment (working on a book off day)

•  CRU claim 2.7.1: Off duty payment – calculate using six months average pay

•  CRU claim 14.5.1b: Retention of clause 132A in Sydney Trains EA and 128 in

NSWTL EA (Master Roster provisions)

•  CRU claim 14.5.1d: Driver cab allowance to base pay

•  CRU claim 14.7.1A: Guards cab and security allowances to base pay

•    CRU claim 14.5.1F: Overtime on a Saturday paid at double time after eight hours

There has been no agreement reached yet and the actions are still on.

Local Delegates, EA Bargaining Representatives and Divisional Organisers will undertake workplace meetings in the coming days to discuss this proposal with members.
